Notes
- Southwest seasoning contains similar ingredients to other Latin-inspired blends like taco and fajita seasoning and can be used as a substitute if you prefer.
- The Southwest spice blend will be smokier, while fajita seasoning contains cilantro, which pairs well with lime juice. Taco seasoning will highlight cumin and oregano for a deep, earthy taste.
- Generally, you can use 1 tablespoon of spice mix to season 1 pound of meat. Increase the amount for extra-bold flavor!
