Chili Powder

This spicy flavorful Mexican-inspired blend is the perfect pairing with vegetables, salads, marinades, sauces, and of course, chili. Cut back the heat of cayenne and chipotle a bit if you want a more mild blend.

Chef's Notes

Do you know the difference between Chili powder and Chile powder? The simple difference is what is in them — Chili powder is made with a blend of chile peppers and other spices — such as cumin and oregano (each recipe or brand varies) while Chile powder is simply made from pure ground chile peppers (with no additives, like cumin etc.).

The big advantage of making your own Chili powder is that it allows you to control the heat level, flavor, and consistency of the dish it is being used in.
