What is Southwest Seasoning? Is there a recipe or can I buy it in the store?
Southwest Seasoning is typically a combination of chipotle pepper, paprika, onion and garlic. We used McCormick Southwest Seasoning during recipe testing. Here’s a link: http://www.mccormick.com/Gourmet/Spices-and-Flavors/Blends/Southwest-Seasoning
