I have another seasoning blend for you to try. Are you excited? I’m excited.

A regular here when I can add a new spice blend to my ever-growing list of spice and seasoning blends. So far this Mexicali seasoning makes over twenty spice blends recipes! Can you even??

I should seriously consider starting my own line of spice blends.

For this Mexicali Seasoning blend, set out:

dried cilantro
chili powder
chipotle powder
cumin
kosher salt
oregano
paprika
garlic
onion powder

Into a glass jar measure out 2 tablespoons dried cilantro*, 2 tablespoons chili powder and 1 tablespoon ground cumin. Then add 2 teaspoons chipotle powder, 2 teaspoons kosher salt, 2 teaspoons paprika, 1-1/2 teaspoons dried oregano, and 1 teaspoon each of garlic and onion powder.

*If you don’t have the dried cilantro, you could also use always only use fresh cilantro in the dish you are preparing (not the spice mix).

Then stir and store in an air-tight container in a dark, dry area for months.

How To Use Mexicali Seasoning:

The flavor of these spice blend is robust and a smidgen smoky but overall it’s satisfying and versatile. I have a recipe I’m truly excited to share with you tomorrow, where I used this savory Mexicali seasoning. I’m also adding it to ground turkey when I make tacos this weekend. However you can completely use this seasoning on beef, chicken, pork, shrimp or vegetables. Or try one of the following recipes!
