  2. Spread 2 tablespoons of chili powder evenly on a small baking pan.
  3. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the chili powder begins to darken slightly and toasty aroma develops.
  4. Let the toasted chili powder cool completely.
  5. Combine the cooled chili powder with 1 tablespoon cumin, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt in a blender.
  6. Blend on high speed for approximately 1 minute, or until the mixture is finely ground and consistent.
  7. Transfer the Sonoran seasoning to an airtight jar. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
