Basics, Spice Mix

Sam’s Southwest Seasoning

I settled on “Sam’s Southwest Seasoning” for this mix because, well, calling it either “taco” or “Mexican” seasoning felt inaccurate.

If you mix a big batch in advance, about 1 tbsp is what you want to use for most meals. 1 tbsp is good for ¾ dry beans, for example.
