Notes
- Made with simple spices you likely have at home.
- Easy to make in 2 steps—measure and mix!
- So much authentic Mexican flavor.
- No need to run to the store for a special carnitas blend.
- Affordable
- You can put it on almost anything (as a dry rub or in a marin ade)! We like to make a double or triple batch of it just to keep it on hand. Store in an airtight container like a mason jar in a cool, dry place for up to a year. Use 2‑4 Tablespoons of seasoning in your recipe. I use 3 1/2 Tablespoons of seasoning mix in my carnitas.
