Notes
Be sure to use sweet paprika (sometimes just simply called paprika), and not smoked paprika. While the smoked variety is tasty, it'll totally change the taste of the seasoning.Most recipes will call for just 1-2 tablespoons of chili powder, our recipe will make much more than that.It's easy to double or triple the recipe since it keeps for such a long time. We suggest getting the chili powder ingredients from the bulk foods section to save as much money as possible on spices, the jars are very costly. 12
