Instructions
If your chilli flakes are very coarse, grind the chilli mix in a spice grinder or mortar and pestle. Otherwise, add all the ingredients to a small bowl and mix well.
Notes
Add the smoked paprika if your chilli flakes don’t have a smoky flavour.
You can
make ground black lime powder
at home.
If you don't require a dry seasoning blend, you can also use lime juice instead of lime powder or zest to create a great Tajín substitute.
