homemade spice blend

My Homemade Chili Powder is a combination of chiles with oregano and spices ground to a powder. Easy to make and fresh is always better then store bought!

Homemade Chili Powder

dried Ancho chiles

oregano oregano

garlic powder

tsp cumin

tbsp Chimayo chili powder ((optional))

In a skillet toast the dried ancho chili pods for a few seconds on each side over high heat until slightly fragrant and they start to puff up a little. Let them cool and remove the stem and shake out any seeds. The more seeds the hotter it will be.

Use a food processor, spice grinder or like I do, my Vitamix and pulverize cooled chiles into a powder. Work in small batches if using a spice grinder.

Add the Mexican oregano (regular oregano works fine too) and garlic, cumin powders and Chimayo chili powder (optional). Pulse several times to combine and blend. Store in an airtight container. Makes 1/2 cup total.

A warm and earthy seasoning rich with cumin, pepper, paprika and Middle Eastern spices and sesame seeds. Perfect on roasted meats, as a dry rub and seasoning. This makes about 1 1/4 cups total.
