Calories 19kcal
Ingredients
- 65 g ground cumin (12 tablespoons / ¾ cup)
- 65 g salt (4 tablespoons. Or salt sub)
- 30 g ground black pepper (4 tablespoons)
- 30 g onion powder (4 tablespoons)
- 45 g garlic powder (4 tablespoons)
- 10 g oregano (4 tablespoons, dried)
- 25 g cocoa powder (optional, 4 tablespoons, unsweetened)
- 10 g chili powder (5 teaspoons)
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a jar or container, put lid on, and shake.
- Store in a sealed container.
Notes
- Use 3 tablespoons / 40 g per 4 cups of cooked beans being made into refried beans;
- Pro tip: Also add 1 to 2 tablespoons of lime or lemon juice (fresh or bottled) per 4 cups of cooked beans being made into refried beans — the citrus acidity really wakes up the flavour of the beans and takes the flat-tasting edge off them.
