1 1/2 cups Corn Chex cereal
1 1/2 cups Rice Chex cereal
1 1/2 cups Wheat Chex cereal
1/2 cup pepitas (shelled pumpkin seeds)
1/2 cup shelled unsalted pistachios
1 cup small, thin, salted pretzel sticks
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
1/2 tablespoon Yucatan Sunshine hot sauce or your favorite hot sauce
1/2 tablespoon Tabasco sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Pinch of salt

Steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 250° F.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cereals, pepitas, pistachios, and pretzel sticks.
3. In a small bowl, stir together the remaining ingredients until well incorporated. Pour this mixture over the cereal mixture and toss well to coat but gently so as not to break the cereal and pretzels.
4. Spread the mixture out on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake for 45 minutes, stirring gently every 15 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven, let the mixture cool, and serve, or serve in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
