Homemade Chili Powder Recipe
Homemade chili powder made by grinding dried chiles with cumin, paprika, oregano, and garlic powder for a fresh spice mix.
Servings: 6 tablespoons
Equipment
Ingredients
- 0.75 ounce dried mild red chiles such as ancho, guajillo, or New Mexico, stemmed, seeded, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 1 tablespoon Mexican oregano
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Working in batches, grind the chile peppers in a spice grinder until finely ground, about 1 minute.
- Stir in cumin, paprika, oregano, garlic powder and cayenne.
Notes
- My Top Tip: Remove stems and seeds. Break open the peppers and remove the stems and seeds. Seeds are incredibly spicy, so removing them helps you control the heat level better. You can discard or save the seeds as red pepper flakes for future use.
- Storage: Transfer the homemade chili powder to an airtight container, such as a small glass or spice jar. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. When stored properly, chili powder can last up to 6 months. For longer storage, freeze for up to 1 year.
