  • 1 tbsp cayenne pepper Adjust according to desired heat level.

  • 1 tbsp dried oregano Adds a fresh herbal note.
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt Essential for flavor; can substitute with sea salt.
  • 2 tsp ground coriander Adds a citrusy touch.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, combine all the ground spices, starting with paprika and layering in the rest for even distribution.
  2. Taste the blend and adjust as needed; add more cayenne for heat or paprika to balance saltiness.
  3. Transfer the finished seasoning to an airtight jar or spice container and label it with the date.
