I used 1.5 teas of "Hot" chili powder and the .5 teas of cumin. This was very mild and lacking in flavor. Added another teaspoon of the hot chili powder (the Pensey's version), a teas. of powdered garlic and of powdered onion and a half teas of salt. In the end served it with cheese and Frank's Red Hot. I'll make it again, but I'll end up experimenting with the spices some more.
