So you got an urge for some mexican food but realized that you are out of packets! Don’t worry, we’ve all been in this same position and here is an easy solution for you. Most of the ingredients are pretty standard in your spice collection, if not just pick them up next time when you hit up the store.
I’ve tried this on everything from chicken to tofu and it’s amazing how much more flavor you get out of this compared to the packets! Just mix this up and add it right when you start cooking and the outcome will be delicious, i promise!
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes ( or cayenne pepper)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
METHOD:
Combine seasoning ingredients into a small bowl or container.

Outstanding! I've always wanted to duplicate those overly salty packets. Going to try this out this weekend!
