  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili lime seasoning

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add all the seasoning ingredients—chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, paprika, ground cumin, and chili lime seasoning—into a small airtight jar. This ensures easy storage and mixing.
  2. Mix Thoroughly: Secure the jar lid tightly and shake vigorously until the spices are evenly blended, creating a uniform seasoning mix.

Notes

  • Adjust the salt quantity if using the seasoning on low-sodium diets.
  • Chili lime seasoning adds a citrusy zing; substitute with additional chili powder if unavailable.
  • Store in an airtight container away from light for up to 3 months for maximum freshness.
  • Double or triple the recipe to keep on hand for quick meals.
