2 teaspoons cumin powder
1–2 teaspoons ground red cayenne pepper or crushed/powdered ancho chilli pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon dehydrated garlic (minced or powdered)
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Mix all ingredients and store in an airtight jar.
Use 1–3 tablespoons of Chili Mix per 1 lb of meat (to taste).
