Mexican spice

Burritos are a Friday night special at our place, and over time we have replaced the kits you buy at the supermarket with our own tortillas and spice mix.

My spice mix has evolved over time. It’s not an exact science, so feel free to use this as starting point and experiment to find the perfect combination for you.

Mexican spice mix

• 3 tsp dried onion flakes
• 2 tsp chilli powder
• 2 tsp cornflower
• 1 tsp dried garlic flakes
• 1 tsp cumin seeds, crushed
• 1 tsp stock powder
• 1/2 tsp dried coriander
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp cocoa powder
• 1/2 tsp paprika (use smoked paprika if you want that smokey bbq flavour)

I add about 2 teaspoons of the spice mix to the beans and vegetables as they cook.
