I need to find that Chipotle Chili Pepper! This spice sounds awesome. I just bought yet another packet of taco seasoning this morning…and I’d much rather be using my own.
Pinned!
Thanks Blair!
I hope you love this as much as I do!
I love Chipotle peppers but I didn’t even know it came in a spice version! I’ll have to find some and make this next chance I get. I’m about to run out of my other spice blend so it’s perfect timing.
Thanks Meg! You’ll have to let me know if you try this! I bought my chipotle chile pepper spice at Walmart, and if you’re a fan of the chipotle pepper, you’ll absolutely LOVE its dried spice! Hope you love this seasoning recipe as much as I do!
Oh, my goodness! I just love all your ideas for spice blending. I’ve just pinned 6 or 7 of them, and I’m going to spend this rainy, blustery Sunday creating some of them for me! Thank you for your creative spirit!
