Notes

Make note that I use American chili powder. Chili powder will vary in flavor depending on where it’s from.

Be sure to buy quality spices for your seasoning. This ensures optimum flavor. Less expensive seasonings often lack flavor and quality, making the seasoning taste weak and lacking.

You can use standard paprika in place of smoked paprika, but I highly suggest smoked paprika as it adds a delicious component to the mixture.

Fine sea salt is my favorite when it comes to this seasoning, but any salt that isn’t coarse salt is great. Coarse salt might make it too salty, so proceed with caution if using it.
