Our family enjoys Mexican foods like Soft Tacos and Nachos. I used to buy the packages of spice mix from the store, but one day I thought it would probably be better if I made my own mix so that there wasn't so much sodium as three of us in our family have PKD (polycystic kidney disease). So now I have this recipe which tells me which spices to mix. Since we use it a lot, I buy the spice refill bags. Each spice is one bag (or jar, if it doesn't come in a refill bag). The amounts are what the container from the store says. I guess you could adjust it to your family's taste.
100 g Onion Powder/Salt
100 g Garlic Powder/Salt
85 g Chili Powder
80 g Paprika
50 g Cumin
20 g Oregano Leaves (
can use ground oregano)
32 g Red Chili Peppers
approx 1-2 tablespoon(s) Salt (
if using onion/garlic powders. Omit if using onion/garlic salt)
Mix all spices well in bowl. Store in airtight container.
These are the packages I used the last time I made this batch of spice. And the bowl I mixed them in.
I store my spice in a Tupperware Modular Mate. It is a long oval 1, which is the perfect size.
