The Spice is Right (Probably): Gathering Your Ingredients
This recipe is about as simple as a mid-week Taco Bell® run (minus the questionable characters you might encounter in the parking lot). Here's what you'll need:
Reminder: Short breaks can improve focus.
- The Holy Grail of Spices: A tablespoon of paprika, a teaspoon of chili powder, some garlic powder (because vampires definitely don't eat Taco Bell®), and onion powder (because tears are for clowns, not chip-eating champions).
- Flavor Boosters: A quarter teaspoon of cayenne pepper for a little kick (or more if you're feeling adventurous) and a pinch of salt to tie everything together.
- The Secret Weapon (Maybe): A teaspoon of cornstarch. This might seem random, but trust us, it adds a certain...je ne sais quoi...that makes the seasoning stick to those chips like nobody's business.
