A smoky, mildly spicy rub built on dried ancho chile powder. Earthy and slightly sweet with Mexican-inspired warmth. Great on brisket, pork shoulder, and beef ribs.

  • Smoked Paprika
  • Cumin
  • Kosher Salt
  • Brown Sugar
  • Garlic Powder

  • Mexican Oregano
  • Black Pepper
  • Cinnamon
  • Cocoa Powder

Steps

  1. 1
    Combine all ingredients and mix well.
