Mexican Seasoning
A warm, smoky all-purpose Mexican spice blend to keep in the pantry for tacos, beans, roast veg and beyond.
Serves: Makes about ½ cup
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 0 minutes
INGREDIENTS
2 tbsp dried oregano
2 tbsp chilli flakes
1 1/2 tbsp ground cumin
1 tbsp ground coriander seeds
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
METHOD
Combine all the spices in a bowl and mix well.
Store in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks.
HINTS
Make a double batch while you're at it - it disappears faster than you'd think once it's within reach.
Toast the blend briefly in a dry pan just before using for a deeper, rounder flavour.
Adjust the chilli flakes up or down to set the heat level to suit your table.
