Notes
*In the USA and Canada, chili powder is a blend of spices with very little heat. Everywhere else, chili powder is just pure dried and ground chiles and it's definitely hot. This recipe is using American chili powder.
Adjust the spice level by increasing, decreasing, or omitting the red pepper flakes.
Use two to three tablespoons to season each pound of chicken or other meat.
Be sure to label and date your homemade seasoning blends.
Store the chicken taco seasoning in a cool, dark place such as a pantry, drawer, or cabinet.
Use the taco spice within 6 months for optimum flavor.
