I like this one. Almost exactly what i used except I would have never thought of thyme. I used slap yo mama seasoning instead of my usual tony chacheres. less salty. I did my first batch ever 2 months ago. I am liking the looks of yours better. Gonna try again this weekend.

Thanks to CRG for being bold enough to ask about the recipe!!! I'm scrolling down thinking..."I'm gonna have to ask for the recipe!" then bang! CRG comes through.

How does this come out on the heat scale? I try to balance between a bit of good heat for me but not too hot for my girls.

Thanks for sharing!

Put the oregano in the palm of your hand and rub it with yer finger. it will release the oils. Dried
