Ingredients
- ¼ cup dried guajillo chili powder, or New Mexico chili powder
- ¼ cup chipotle chili powder
- 2 tablespoons onion powder
- 2 tablespoons garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon dried arbol chili powder, or cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 teaspoons Mexican oregano
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ teaspoon ground cloves
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Store in the pantry for up to 6 months.
Notes
- Spice level: this seasoning blend is somewhere medium-to-spicy, depending on your spice tolerance. If you want to reduce the spice level, take the arbol chili powder from 1 tablespoon down to 1 teaspoon. If you want to make a mild birria seasoning, replace the arbol chili powder with more guajillo chili powder which has a mild spice level.
- Refer to the blog post above for instructions on how to make birria with the seasoning mix in an Instant Pot, Crock Pot, or in the oven.
- You can use this birria seasoning to season beef, goat, lamb, or chicken. I recommend using 2 tablespoons of seasoning per pound of meat.
