I made this Southwest Lamb Seasoning blend up a while ago to play around with some racks of lamb. I knew the method I wanted to cook the lamb, and I also knew I would need a robust seasoning blend to stand up with my cooking method.
I am so pleased with this seasoning, I use it on many different items now.  It does carry a good “late kick” of heat, so be warned!  I think it works best on meats that you are going to smoke or grill for a longer time, such as a “reverse-seared” steak.  But, I also love tossing with some veggies before grilling, or use it as a sprinkle after cooking to awaken the flavors of a dish.  Enjoy!
