Fuego Spice Mix

This is a spice mix from the Chevy's Fresh Mex Cookbook. It is very versatile. I mainly use it to season meat for fajitas, but it can be used for a lot more. I have also used it in my chicken taco soup to replace the taco seasoning and my aunt recently told me she used it to season black beans. So, I made a bean and rice bowl for lunch the other day and tried it, so yummy!! The cookbook suggests using it to spice up tortilla chips, french fries or popcorn.
