Chipotle cinnamon rub is a seasoning mix that works no matter the weather outside. The chipotle pepper powder (and pinch of cayenne) provides a smoky heat, while the cinnamon adds that comforting sweet warmth that’s so loved during cooler months.

Use it as a rub with pork, chicken, or beef, or simply sprinkle it after grilling to add a little oomph to your cut of meat. Don’t stop with this seasoning as just a meat rub. It’s delicious sprinkled over French fries, added to ground beef for Mexican meals (tacos, enchiladas, etc), or simply sprinkled on eggs!

  • Homemade Creole Seasoning: Delicious with many Southern dishes, and it uses many common spice rack spices.
  • Chili Lime Seasoning: Tasty with fruit, among many other uses! Note: NOT a Tajin copycat – many more ingredients.
