Start by measuring out all your ingredients.

In a mixing bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well until all the spices are evenly distributed.

Taste your seasoning mix and adjust if necessary.

Transfer the seasoning to an airtight container.

Label your container with the name and date.

Sprinkle your seasoning liberally on your meats, beans, or veggies.

If you have any leftover seasoning, seal the container and store it in a cool, dark place.
