Notes
This seasoning is not equivalent to a store-bought packet. They contain cornstarch and other ingredients, while this is a blend of peppers and herbs. Use more according to your preferences.
For the best flavor, saute peppers, onions, and garlic, then add seasoning to toast it. It activates it so the whole dish has the flavor. Do not just sprinkle it over chili at the end of cooking.
This seasoning mix will last for several weeks.
