6. Sounds Mighty Good, But That is a Good Volume of "Chili"

To only include tsp's of cumin, chili powder, and paprika. Especially if the CP you use is off-the-shelf.

For that quantity, I'd at least double or triple the cumin (preferably seeds roasted and then ground) and either make your own serious Chili Powder from dried chilis or goose up the "chili" aspect with some full-on chilis. This could involve adding a couple jalapenos and serranos (seeded if you prefer), or at least some pickled jalapenos and maybe a bit of chipotle in adobo from a can.

Good Eats!
