    Southwest Seasoning for chicken, pork, or fish! cookingwithcurls.com

    When I am short on time, I usually grab a rotisserie chicken at the grocery store to make my Southwest Chicken Salads and wraps. But when the stars align and I have more time, I cook my own chicken breasts that have been seasoned with this Southwest Seasoning mix. It adds some additional flavor, and makes them extra special.

    Yep, you guessed it. That is a recycled Archer Farms {Target} spice jar. I love the square shape, so I clean them {remove the labels} and save them for my own spice mixes.

    How to make Southwest Seasoning:

    Simply mix all of the spices together in a small bowl.....

    Then use a funnel to pour the Southwest Seasoning mix into the spice jar...easy peasy! 😉  You can easily adjust the spices to fit your families tastes. As written, this seasoning has a bit of a kick from the paprika. You can always start with less, and add more until you find your own perfect combination.

    No I did not forget any ingredients, the green flecks are from my garlic powder {it contains parsley}.

    This Southwest Seasoning is one of the most popular seasonings in my kitchen. I use it all of the time, especially on the chicken on my Southwest Chicken Salads.....

    3 - Southwest Chicken Salad for Fall with Chipotle Ranch Dressing {roast sweet potato}

    4 - Southwest Chicken Salad for Winter with Orange Cilantro Dressing {pomegranate}

    And for my Southwest Chicken Wraps

    I have used different variations on this seasoning mix to make Southwest Roasted Potatoes, Southwest Sweet Potato Fries and Spice Rubbed Salmon.

    See, I told you it was my favorite flavor. 😉

    Enjoy!!

      I love making my own spice mixes, and using the Archer Farms bottle for your own is genius! Those bottles are so nice. Pinning!

        Thank you Cindy, I just can't seem to throw things away. 😉 Making your own seasonings is the perfect way to add or subtract heat, because I am a wuss when it comes to heat!!

        I should try it on french fries next, I bet that would be good. 😉 I have a problem with throwing things away, I'm convinced that they need to be used for something else, LOL
