I keep a hot and a "Not Too Hot" version of this on hand for use in...well...just about everything. I love hot and spicy food but NOT when flavor is sacrificed for heat. This recipe is adjustable for heat so flavor is never lost!! As always adjust to your taste.

  • Step 1
    Place all ingredients in an oversized air tight container. I use old clean jelly and pickle jars. Vigorously shake until well mixed. Use a tablespoon or two in recipes.
