Southwest Seasoning

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…..

1 – Southwest Chicken Salad for Spring with Guacamole Ranch {avocado}

2 – Southwest Chicken Salad for Summer with Creamy Cilantro Lime Dressing {mango}

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!!
