Author: Jenny Prior

Ingredients

425 g chili powder medium roast 1K H.U. (3 cups)
300 g sea salt table or finely ground (1 cup)
160 g cumin powder 1 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon
140 g black pepper medium grind (1 cup)
75 g paprika* 1/2 cup and 3/4 teaspoon
50 g garlic powder 1/4 cup
25 g onion powder 1/4 cup
17 g red pepper flakes 35K H.U. (1/4 cup)
7 g oregano dried leaves cut and sifted (1/4 cup)*

Instructions

Gather ingredients. See full post for how to source well and get my links for best ingredients
Grab a large bowl (4-5 quart size) and a kitchen scale to make a big batch of this Mexican spice mix. (American measurements are provided, but a scale is recommended)
Mix ingredients until completely combined.
Store in a glass container (at least 1 quart size) in a cool, dark, dry place away from steam and heat. Use within 1 year for best flavor.

Notes

Notes:

*Do NOT use smoked paprika. Paprika and smoked paprika are not the same and you will be disappointed in the flavor difference. It will also make your taco seasoning mix more spicy.

*The volume measurement for the last four ingredients are all the same (1/4 cup) but the weight measurements are all different because of how much mass each ingredient has. This is not an error.
