Southwest Seasoning Spice Blend

The Southern Rustic

This is my recipe for “Southwest Seasoning Blend” a blend of spices and herbs that I use often in southwestern-style cooking. I use it most in Tex-Mex style recipes or if I want a southwest flare to my food. This blend has a few herbs and spices but it is the perfect amount. Now, with any recipe, you can always add to or take out anything you do not like or adjust the spiciness level.

Store this spice blend in an airtight container or mason jar in the pantry for up to 6 months. Mine never lasts that long but I have a love for herbs and spices. I like my food to be as flavorful as possible. lol. In some of my recipes, I highlight the spices and herbs, and in other dishes, I highlight the other ingredients. It is a great balance when you have an overstock of all things spices. lol. What can I say, I love spices.

INGREDIENTS:

2 Tbsp. Chili Powder
1 Tbsp. Cumin
1 Tbsp. Smoked Paprika
1 Tbsp. Garlic Powder
1 Tbsp. Dried Oregano
1/2 Tbsp. Onion Powder
1 Tbsp. Salt
1 Tsp. Sugar
2 Tsp. Ground Coriander
1 Tsp. Turmeric
1 Tsp. Pepper
1 Tsp. Cayenne Pepper ( you can adjust this for your level of heat)

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine. You can also add this directly into your mason jar and shake it until it is combined well. Cover with a lid and store in your pantry. This will last about 6 months or longer if don’t use it regularly.

  • As stated above you can adjust any of these herbs and spices to your liking or heat level. Check out my southwest chicken salad recipe which uses this particular spice blend.

Hello Everyone! Thank you so much for stopping by. Let me tell you a little bit about me. I am a mom of two, a stepmom of 1, two wild and silly pups, and I have the best husband in the world. I also have a love of cooking and baking. I am always in the kitchen finding new recipes to try, recreating old family recipes, and reminiscing about the old ways. I am vintage at heart and love all things old and cast iron. I love spending time with the family and pups and just going where life takes us. I created my blog a few years ago with my youtube channel because I thought that If I shared a recipe, then people just might like to see just how the recipe is put together. I share all of my family recipes along with today's recipes. Whether it is old-fashioned recipes, sourdough, einkorn, desserts, sheet pan meals, or even crockpot meals, they are all absolutely delicious. I spend hours, if not days, creating and dabbling with recipes to make sure they are the best for you and your family. All of my recipes are family tested and family-approved before they are ever posted to my blog or youtube channel. Every now and again I will share some behind-the-scenes fun and chaos of our creations and family adventures. I hope you all stick around and join us here at The Southern Rustic and see what we cook up in my kitchen. You can find all of my social media information in the Contact/Donate OR the Social Media Accounts tab on my home page. There I have listed my Instagram pages, YouTube channel, Email, and other information so you can easily find everything in one place. I hope that you all have a wonderful, wonderful day and I will see you soon. Sam TheSouthernRustic
