Fantastic seasoning blend I used on ground chicken, riced cauliflower &amp; broccoli with sliced cherry tomatoes and diced bell peppers, onions served as a burrito bowl sliced avocado and a dollop of sour cream. Everyone loved it!

I've been looking for a homemade spice blend, but none ticked all my boxes - until now! This one is spot on. I didn't change a thing. And I took MAURA's advice and made fish tacos - YUM!!!

Hi!  I’m using your seasoning blend to make pork carnitas.  Thank you, it smells delicious  

Due to health reasons, it’s very challenging to buy flavorful seasonings pre made. I was able to make this one with a very low sodium ct &amp; it was still VERY tasty! I used it to season my chicken then put into a Cesar salad &amp; dressed with tortilla crumbles &amp; tomato basil feta. Yum!!

Used in making pork flautas.  They were amazing.
Thanks!!!

This is a super easy and delicious mix of spices! I used it on chicken, then added some to ranch dressing to make a Southwest chicken salad with lettuce, corn, tomatoes and avocado. Very tasty!!!!

Thank you for simplifying my life!  Great recipe!

I mixed up the slices for the Southwest seasoning and used to flavor my ground pork for pork and pablono pepper soft tacos with homemade Pico and creama, they were delicious, the seasoning was amazing in the pork with pablono peppers purple onion, minced garlic and a little jalapeño. 
Thank you for the recipe

I use this seasoning to make bomb quesadillas. It’s a really good blend

This is amazing on tilapia to make street tacos.  Best recipe for make your southwest season I've found yet

I used this recipe with chicken breasts in my crock pot, added to some chicken broth. Shred the breasts and put them back into the seasoned liquid to absorb the flavors.  I used the shredded chicken to make a Santa Fe Chicken Pizza Pie.  It was awesome!  BTW you can purchase 4 oz canning jars to store home made seasonings.

I used it for a Hello Fresh remake too, Gaby. It was perfect for the Chipotle Chicken and Rice Bowl. Laurie, thank you for the recipe!

I remade a Hello Fresh flautas recipe and needed southwest seasoning. Thank you for the recipe! The seasoning on the black beans tasted wonderful!

This is a delicious combination of flavors!   I love it on baked chicken breast topped with sauteed peppers, onions and jalapenos!  Will try it on fish.  I shared it with my sister, and she loves it on potatoes!  Thank you for a great recipe!

Hi.  One of my Tagines doesn't have a hole in the top.  Is that okay?  Make your Shakshuka all the time for guests.

I've made several Tagines - Chicken, Lamb, Beef, and Seafood.  This recipe is sooooooooooooooooo complete, I could taste it with my eyes.  Thanks.  Okay, I'm adding 5 more ingredients to my next Lamb Tagine.

I have a very old recipe that my parents got from a Moroccan friend in Fes. Some of the authentic spices are difficult to find. In Brussels (Belgium) we have a big Moroccan  community with shops and market on sunday where we buy all we need. Like galanga, maniquette, nigella, cantharide, long pepper, iris, cinnamon, belladone berries 😱gouza,cubèbe pepper, Kherouâ. I make the Ras el Hanout for all my friends and they ask for more when pot is empty.

Quick question, Kevin.  Do you dry roast these before grinding, or that doesn’t make any difference?

The aroma is amazing this is a wonderful spice mix.

Dry Mexican Mole Spice Blend Recipe

cocoa powder

ancho (chipotle, or New Mexico red chile powder)

Combine all spices thoroughly. Add to an airtight storage container.

Just made the powder. Tried a tiny bit, tastes great. The cocoa and the cumin really shine. Can't wait to try in a recipe. Thank you.

I wish I'd discovered this seasoning a long time ago. The cocoa in there is fantastic - kind of a revelation to my far from Mexico palate. Also, pleased to see ancho chilli powder in there, since I had a pot lying around and wasn't quite sure what to do with it.
