But...there are times where I want it and I want it now or I don't have time to fool with it. I have my own seasoning blends that I try to keep on hand so I can flavor something the way I want without having to measure out a hundred spices.
We wanted to make Mexican beef with peppers the other day but I wanted to do it quickly so I got the already made mexican seasoning I had made and just added 3 Tablespoons to 2 lbs of beef and we ate for three meals! Quick and easy. Here's the recipe:

1 TB Salt
2 TB Chipotle or Ancho Chili Powder
1/2 TB Black Pepper

1/2 TB Granulated Garlic
1 tsp Ground Turmeric

1 tsp Thyme
1/8 tsp Ground Cayenne Pepper
What You do:
1. Mix well and store in an airtight container.
