Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1.5 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne
  • 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
  • lime zest

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, combine chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne, brown sugar, and lime zest. Stir well to blend.
  • Take a small amount of the seasoning mix, taste, and adjust salt or heat as desired.
  • Transfer the seasoning mix to an airtight jar or container for storage. Keep in a cool, dry place.
  • Sprinkle generously on steak, chicken, veggies, or other dishes for a burst of flavor. Allow to marinate for enhanced taste.

Notes

For a unique twist, try swapping lime zest for orange zest or adding coriander for a lemony flavor. Adjust the heat level by varying the amount of cayenne used. This seasoning can be stored for up to six months in a sealed container.
