Inspired by this page and is much better than anything you can buy. Here you can choose how strong it should be. I made this recipe as one of the homemade Christmas gifts this year and it was successful. The recipe consists of two parts: A basic chili powder, which also forms the base of other strong spices (it must be experimented with :)) and then the Mexican spice itself built on the chili powder.
CHILI SPICE
4 TBSP. PAPRIKA
4 TBSP. OREGANO
2½ TSP. CUMIN
2½ TSP. GARLIC POWDER
2½ TSP. CAYENNE PEPPER
1½ TSP. ONION POWDER
Mix it all together and blend it into a fine powder in a blender or a spice grinder.
Store it in a clean jar, in a dry and dark place
MEXICAN SPICES:
60 G
4 TBSP. CHILI POWDER
1 TSP. GARLIC POWDER
1 TSP. ONION POWDER
1 TSP. DRIED OREGANO
2 TSP. PAPRIKA
1½ TSP. GROUND CORIANDER
5 TSP. GROUND CUMIN
2 TSP. SALT
2 TSP. BLACK PEPPER
Mix it all together and blend it into a fine powder in a blender or a spice grinder.
Store it in a clean jar, in a dry and dark place, or use it immediately.
Three to four teaspoons are enough for 500 g of minced meat, as the recipe is hot.
