guajillo pepper

An all-purpose seasoning that can be used to add a characteristic Mexican flavor to meats, vegetables, beans, etc., which can then be used for making tacos, fajitas, enchiladas, quesadillas and more.

Mexican Seasoning and Spice

tbsp Guajillo peppers (Cascabel) (coarsely ground, without seeds)

Paprika

tbsp Dried parsley

Cumin powder

tsp Dried Mexican Oregano (crushed just before adding)

tsp Crushed Red Pepper

Salt

tsp Crushed Black pepper

tsp Garlic powder (optional)

The whole Guajillo (Gwa-Hee-yo) peppers need to be crisped a little before they can be ground.

Break the peppers into smaller pieces - shake the seeds out - discard the seeds. Do not grind the seeds - they will ruin the brilliant color of the Guajillo peppers.

Roast lightly on very low heat in a frying pan, or by placing in a moderately hot oven, 250F, for about 15-20 min, or in the microwave on 40% power for 2-3 min. When the peppers have cooled a bit, they will be crisp and ready to be ground easily

Transfer to a blender , spice mill or coffee grinder. Blend the peppers to a coarse powder

Place all the ingredients except the dried Mexican Oregano in a dry mixing bowl.

Place a portion of the dried herb in the palm of one hand and use your other palm to gently crush the oregano leaves, by rubbing your hands together in opposite directions, using a circular motion. This releases the flavors from the oregano leaves.

Add the crushed leaves to the bowl and repeat, crushing all the measured oregano.

Mix thoroughly with a dry spoon to blend all the ingredients together.

Storage: Transfer to a dry glass or plastic jar. It can be stored for up to 3 months at room temperature.  If you don&#039;t use it frequently, or if you plan to makie a larger batch, store in the freezer to preserve the flavors better, for up to 6-7 months.

This seasoning is great for Pomfret and other delicate fish and great substitute for commercial ones

This recipe was so good! I used this seasoning rub for my chicken accompanied with white rice and sautéed vegetables and it tasted phenomenal. I loved how fragrant the chile powder came out to be and I will certainly make this again. It was also very helpful to have measurements beyond a small portion. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe. :)

After I made this seasoning I mixed it with ground turkey and made it into a bowl with carrots, sweet potatoes, jalapeño, and topped it with avocado and it was delicious. The meat had a nice spice to it without being too much. I was hesitant about Cumin because it is not my favorite spice but I couldn't taste or smell it at all!!! :) I will try other recipes on here.

YES I need to know how to mix spices like this, because even though I'm "Mexican" my family never really showed me how to cook. There are so many ways to mix ingredients that it can seem daunting. Its also probably why many people eat out so OFTEN!! (They don't know what to mix.) I love how you are incorporating different cultures &lt;3 and MUCH LOVE on the chemistry aspect! (Always my favorite part!)

I've used this mix to make chili and it has never been tastier! Can't wait to try it on some of my other regular recipes! I've tried other Mexican seasonings for pasta sauces, would this one go well with similar recipes?

Wow, I definitely need to stock up on this one!

Love love love this recipe!!  I will never buy ready made Mexican spice mix again! Keep these recipes coming!
