Notes
Note 1 - Onion and Garlic
I recommend the flakes or granules over the powder to ensure the seasoning maintains its texture. The powder can clump and cause the rest of the seasoning for be clumpy.
Note 2 - Sea Salt
I highly highly (cannot recommend highly enough) to use a good quality rock salt. It makes all the difference.
Note 3 - Pepper
Freshly cracked pepper is recommended for both taste and texture. If you don't have pepper that can be cracked, DON'T use the powder for the same reason as Note 1. Precracked is fine as long as it's not a powder.
Serve with
Use in: Burrito Bowls, Taco Soup, Fajitas, Mexican Tuna Salad, Vegetable Fritters etc.
Storage
Store in an airtight jar for up to 6 months. Note, if there's moisture, it may stick together after some time, just mix it up with a stick or spoon before using.
