Equipment

Small mixing bowl
Storage container

Ingredients

3 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon paprika
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together all ingredients until combined.
Store in an airtight container or glass jar in a cool dark place like a spice drawer, cabinet, or pantry. Best if used within 3 months.

Notes

Be sure your storage container is truly airtight. If it isn't, the spices will lose their flavor quickly, or the mix can clump up in the pantry.
Store the jar away from direct light. Sunlight can damage the color and flavor of spices, so it's best to keep them in a drawer or cabinet.
