          TIPS

          To make chili seasoning mix: Stir together 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon ghost pepper powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt in small bowl. Use as directed in recipe. Ghost pepper powder typically is found online or in a local specialty spice store. Quinoa typically is found in the rice and pasta section of supermarkets. Rinse well before cooking to remove the natural bitter coating, if it is not pre-washed.
