Southwest Spice Blend

"This Southwest Spice Blend is the perfect way to measure out a bunch of herbs and spices at one time. Use a little bit of this spice mix anytime you want that delicious southwest flavor. I love to make my own special blends for my family. That way, I can control the amounts of everything. Two of my favorites are Tajin substitute and my homemade seasoning salt. Any chance I get, I make my own seasoning mixes at home. I love this easy southwestern seasoning because it’s truly perfect for when I need just a pinch. Making your own spice blends is significantly cheaper than buying pre-made packets. Plus, you control the quality of ingredients and can tailor the heat and flavor profile to your exact preferences. Store-bought blends often contain anti-caking agents, excessive salt, or other fillers. I love this recipe because when you make homemade spices yourself, you know exactly what’s going into it. The spices in this blend are common and likely already in your spice rack, making this simple recipe easy to whip up anytime. Some common uses for this homemade southwest seasoning recipe include seasoning beef or grilled chicken for tacos. You can also try making southwest chicken salad by using some in place of regular seasonings."
