Handy tip: Longer Storage

Use Mylar Bags with Oxygen Absorbers: For extended shelf life, consider storing your homemade chili lime seasoning in Mylar bags along with oxygen absorbers. Mylar bags provide an extra layer of protection against moisture, light, and oxygen, helping to preserve the freshness and flavor of the seasoning for even longer periods. Oxygen absorbers help remove excess oxygen from the packaging, further preventing oxidation and extending the shelf life of the seasoning. Simply place the seasoning in a Mylar bag, add an appropriate-sized oxygen absorber according to the bag’s instructions, and seal the bag tightly. Store the sealed Mylar bags in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight for optimal storage. This method can help prolong the quality of your homemade seasoning for several months or even years.

Tips & Tricks

  • Adjust to Taste: Start with the recommended amounts of each ingredient, but feel free to adjust according to your preference. If you like it spicier, add more guajillo powder. Prefer it less salty? Reduce the salt content.

  • Enhance Drinks: Add a pinch of chili lime seasoning to cocktails like margaritas or micheladas for a unique twist.
  • Labeling: If you’re making multiple spice blends, label your containers clearly to avoid confusion.
