  2. Thoroughly mix all spices by hand until they are evenly combined and a light reddish-brown color is achieved.
  3. Transfer the seasoning to an airtight container or jar. This recipe yields approximately 3 ounces.
  4. For a spicier kick, substitute garlic powder for onion powder, or add more cayenne pepper. Experiment with using cilantro powder in place of the coriander, if desired.
