Ingredients 

  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons paprika
  • 2 tablespoons ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, adjust to taste for spiciness
  • 1 tablespoon salt, adjust to taste

Instructions

  • Gather Your Ingredients: Ensure you have all the ingredients ready to go.
  • Combine Spices: In a mixing bowl, combine the chili powder, paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and cayenne pepper.
  • Add Salt: Gradually add the salt to the spice mixture. Taste as you go and adjust the salt level to your preference. Keep in mind that you can always add more salt later, so start with a little and increase if needed.
  • Mix Thoroughly: Use a spoon or a small whisk to thoroughly mix all the spices and salt together. Ensure that the spices are evenly distributed, creating a balanced flavor.
  • Store Your Fiesta Rub: Transfer the Fiesta Rub to an airtight container or spice jar with a tight-sealing lid. Make sure the container is dry to prevent clumping. Label the container with the rub's name and date it for freshness.
  • Use in Your Recipes: Your Homemade Fiesta Rub is now ready to use! Sprinkle it generously over meats, poultry, seafood, vegetables, or grains before grilling, roasting, or cooking. It also works wonderfully as a dry rub for barbecues and marinades.
  • Adjust to Taste: Feel free to adjust the spiciness by adding more or less cayenne pepper, tailoring the rub to your preferred heat level.
  • Store Properly: Keep the Fiesta Rub in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. When stored correctly, it can last for several months, ensuring you have a convenient and flavorful seasoning on hand for your culinary adventures.
