Store the seasoning in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. It will keep for up to 6 months.
Experiment with different ratios of spices to create your own unique blend. For example, you could add more chili powder for a spicier seasoning, or more cumin for a more earthy flavor.
Use the seasoning on chicken, beef, pork, fish, or vegetables. It's also great in soups, stews, and chili.
