Equipment

Ingredients

4 tablespoons parsley
4 tablespoons minced dried onion
4 tablespoons chili powder ancho chili powder is best
4 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons crushed red pepper
4 teaspoons dried cilantro
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper

Instructions

Combine all ingredients and store in an airtight container in a cool dark place.
Use as needed. (I like to use 2 tablespoons per pound of meat/veggies)

Notes

Use the freshest spices you can find. They lose flavor the older they are!

Rub the spices in your fingers before you use it. This releases the oils in them and bring out their flavors.

You can use regular chili powder if you can't find the ancho or substitute some smoked paprika for part of it.

Store in a drak, cool, dry place for up to 6 months.
