Hey guys, I can't wait to try the Quick Turkey Chili in the DCB, but I don't have any Southwestern Seasoning Mix. What would be a good substitution for that--taco seasoning?

I'm thinking maybe I could use this recipe to showcase the DCB in my shows for the second half of this month (I get my DCB tomorrow--woo-hoo!)
 
Taco seasoning would work in a pinch.
 
Anyone have a substiute for Jerk Rub???? I have a show on Saturday with the Jerk chicken nachos and will have barely enough. I didn't even practice this recipe yet! I'll have to wing it I guess!
 
And yes, I did learn my lesson about offering a recipe that I haven't practiced yet.
 
I made them last night at my show and I didn't pratice them either!! They were pretty good but i would prefer the Southwest seasoning on them if I made them for my family. They are VERY easy to make. Hope that helps to know you're not the only one who does this:rolleyes:

You can create a substitute by mixing equal parts of chili powder and cumin, and then adding garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to taste. This combination will mimic the flavor profile of Southwestern seasoning.

Can I use taco seasoning instead of Southwestern Seasoning?
