Use it on meats like grilled chicken or roasted vegetables, and spice up your favorite marinade or dressing!

How to Make Homemade Chipotle Seasoning
You’ll want to double this recipe so you always have chipotle seasoning on hand. It stores well for months and can be used with a variety of recipes.
Chipotle powder: Adds a bold flavor and a bit of smoky heat to the mix. Paprika: Use smoked paprika for an even more smoky flavor. Cumin: The earthy taste of cumin pairs really well with paprika and is common in Mexican cuisine. Garlic powder: A must for any savory seasoning mix. Oregano: Has a deep, earthy flavor that balances the more spicy flavors. Coriander: This is a fresh-tasting spice that adds a bit of a sweet, lemony flavor. Salt: To enhance all of the other flavors in the mix.
Ways to Use: This seasoning is great for meat rubs, chicken, beef, or fish. It’s also tasty on vegetables or to use in recipes that need smoky Mexican flavors or seasoning. Make a Marinade: To use this seasoning as a marinade, combine the following ingredients, then add chicken, pork, or beef. Marinate for 15 minutes then grill or cook as desired: 1/4 cup olive oil 2 tablespoons lime juice 2 tablespoons water 2 tablespoons chipotle seasoning 2 pounds meat How Much to Use: I would recommend using 1-2 tablespoons per pound of meat. However, you can adjust the amount depending on how boldly flavored you want your meat to taste! Keep in mind that this chipotle seasoning is packed with bold spices, a little goes a long way! So, always add less than you think you need at first and adjust from there. Substitute for Taco Seasoning: This can easily be used in place of taco seasoning, especially for chipotle-flavored tacos, chili, or soups. Want More Spice? If you’re craving extra heat, then simply add a pinch or two of cayenne pepper.
