  • The article also includes four variations: Lime Cumin Bright, Chipotle Smoky Heat, Mild Family Friendly, and Herby Cantina Blend.
  • Each mix makes about 4 tablespoons, enough for roughly 2 pounds of chicken or 8 to 10 tacos.
  • Best flavor window is 3 to 6 months when stored in an airtight jar away from heat and steam.
