Notes
We use half regular paprika and half smoked paprika. Use high quality paprika, it will make a difference to end product
Use whatever hot pepper you would like. cayenne is the default people use, although I find cayenne hot for no other reason than to be hot. We use Ancho & a touch of either ground chipotle or ground habanero.
We do not add garlic to the recipe. I have a sensitivity to it so it gets left out. I include it here because that is normally included
We use this spice blend at home all of the time, so we usually make this recipe 5x the size you see in this ingredient deck. That's how much is in the mason Jar in the Picture.
