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.
What's in the spice rub?
This spice rub is full of delicious and powerful flavors typical of Latin American cuisine. It's peppery, earthy, a little bit smoky and also quite spicy.
