OOOoOOOO you’ve just given me an idea – a girlfriend of mine really enjoys Mexican food. When we get together, we make what we call a “Mexican Fiesta” – nachos and Spanish rice and tacos etc. I’m going to make a big batch of this seasoning, and give her a jar of it as a little gift the next time I see her! I’ve been buying and using canning jars for food storage for a while now, so one of the small 250 ml jars would be perfect for this – thanks for the idea!
That’s an awesome idea, Sandra! And this blend of spices tastes WAY better than the store bought packets! Have fun!
