Fit Cook Tip:
You can of course use a store-bought Tex-Mex spice blend. However, many of them are crammed with salt, so you'll have to adjust with the amounts along the way. Personally, I always have a mason jar with my homemade Tex-Mex spice blend in the cupboard! This way I know exactly what I'm eating, adjust it to my taste, and control how much salt I use myself. Here is my recipe:-8 c. (100 mL) chili powder
-6 c. (75 ml) paprika
-4 c. (60 ml) salt
-4 c. (60 mL) onion powder
-4 c. (60 mL) dried oregano
-3 c. (45 ml) pepper
-2 tsp. (30 mL) garlic powder
-2 tsp. (30 mL) ground cumin
-1 C. (15 mL) cayenne
