Spice up your meat, seafood and vegetables with this delicious, flavorful and spicy Cuban-inspired spice rub! It’s made with herbs and spices commonly used in Cuban cuisine, including garlic, onion, black pepper, oregano and cumin. In addition to that I added chipotle powder to give the blend a nice smoki- and spiciness.
