Ingredients

Paprika. Aside from adding vibrant color to your seasoning, paprika really helps in brightening the seasoning's flavor by making it spicy but with more depth so that the spice mix is not just spicy and bland to taste.

Dried Oregano. It gives this Quesadilla Seasoning an appealing aroma, and it is also a good ingredient that complements the presence of onion and cumin in this recipe.

Onion Powder. Onion powder will impart a rich allover onion flavor to this spice mix, helping paprika give more depth to the flavor.

Cumin Powder. It balances the spice in the recipe by adding a warm and mildly sweet note to the mixture.

Salt. Salt intensifies the aroma that dried oregano gives off, and it also balances all the flavors contributed by the other ingredients found in the recipe. Adding salt also helps preserve this seasoning for longer shelf life.

Black Pepper. It is another ingredient that spices the seasoning up.

Cayenne Pepper. Without cayenne pepper, your seasoning will only be spicy, as it will lack some heat. But with cayenne pepper in the mix, the seasoning will be a satisfying hot and spicy combo.

How to Make Quesadilla Seasoning?

Mix all the spices well until combined, and then store them in a jar.

Top Tips!

• You can easily adjust the level of spiciness of this seasoning. If you love it to be so spicy, you only need to add more paprika and cayenne pepper. However, if you wish your seasoning to be only mild or spicy, lower the amount of the spicy ingredients found in the recipe.
• Do not be carried away by adding too much-dried oregano into the mix. Too much-dried oregano will only make your seasoning bitter, not spicy.
