- 1/4 cup kosher salt (or 3 tablespoons sea salt)
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 tablespoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar

Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl (or directly into a lidded jar that you will store it in), mixing well with a spoon and breaking up any large clumps.

Notes
*Adjust this to your tastes and if your chili powder is hot or not. We like things spicy, so I use the full 1 tablespoon amount. Start small and then adjust as you like.
