Servings 3 1/2 tablespoons (one use)
Calories 12kcal

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder 100% chili powder - like paprika, ancho, pasilla, or chipotle
  • 1 teaspoon lime zest approximately 1/2 lime. Use more to taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder optional

Instructions

  • Mix all ingredients in a bowl, then use as a seasoning or a rub.

Notes

Choose your chili powder and the amount of cayenne used wisely. The combo can make this chili lime seasoning surprisingly hot. 
For very mild heat, opt for generic paprika or ancho powder with little to no additional cayenne. Choose smoked paprika, for a smokier flavor.
For medium heat, guajillo powder or chipotle powder both work (chipotle being smokier and slightly hotter.)
