Total Time: 5 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup ground pasilla chile powder
• 1/4 cup chili powder (mild, medium, hot, according to your tastes)
• 2 tablespoons fresh ground black pepper
• 1 -2 teaspoon dried chipotle powder, to taste
• 1 teaspoon dried ancho chile powder
• 1 tablespoon spanish sweet smoked paprika
• 1 -2 tablespoon cayenne pepper, to taste
• 1/4 cup ground coriander
• 1/4 cup granulated garlic
• 4 tablespoons granulated onion
• 1/4 cup ground oregano (mexican is more pungent than mediterranean, so decrease the amount to taste if you use mexican)
• 1/2 cup ground cumin

Recipe

• 1 get yourself an airtight jar to store the approximately 2 cups of mix in, making sure it's clean and dry.
• 2 combine all ingredients.
• 3 store in that jar mentioned above. :).
• 4 note: if you make a double batch, you can freeze half of it for later use!
• 5 note #2: sometimes i like to take about 1/2 cup of the mix and add either dried grated lemon rind or dried grated lime rind to taste, for another nice mixture that's great for keeping in a shaker for simply sprinkling over foods at the table. a similar citrus mix is sold in latin markets that a lot of folks use on fresh melon!
