Whisk together an easy Mexican spice blend for all your Cinco de Mayo recipes. I prefer to purchase single spices for my pantry to create my own mixes. It is both easy and economical.
This is a spicy blend! You can use more or less as desired to suit your palate. I do like it spicy, but of course it depends on who you are cooking for.

- 1 tbsp. crushed Chipotle Chile
- 2 tsp. oregano
