Instructions

• Gather measuring spoons, a small mixing bowl, a spoon or whisk, and a clean glass container with a tight-fitting lid.
• Measure and add to the bowl: 1 tablespoon chili powder; 2 teaspoons paprika (smoked paprika if you prefer); 1 teaspoon cumin; 1 teaspoon oregano; 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder; 1/2 teaspoon onion powder; 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt; 1/4 teaspoon black pepper; 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes.
• Stir or whisk the spices together until evenly combined and uniform in color (about 20–30 seconds).
• Use a spoon or funnel to transfer the seasoning into the glass container, then seal the lid tightly.
• Label the container (for example, “Taco Seasoning” and the date) if desired.
• Store the sealed container in a cool, dry place; shake or stir before each use.
