- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika (regular or smoked)

In a large bowl, add all other ingredients. Mix well.
Notes:
Once you have added all spices and mixed well, taste the dish. If you think it could use more spices, go for it!
You can make this dish in advance, and keep it in the fridge. The flavors actually get better the longer they sit together!
