Instructions:
- In a small bowl, mix all the spices together until well combined.
- Transfer to an airtight container or spice jar and store in a cool, dry place.
- Use 1–2 tablespoons per pot of chili or adjust to taste for other recipes.
Ways to Use:
- Add to ground beef or turkey for taco seasoning.
- Sprinkle over roasted sweet potatoes or butternut squash.
- Mix with olive oil to create a flavorful marinade for grilled chicken or tofu.
- Stir into soups and stews for a rich, earthy flavor.
Notes:
This blend is designed to mimic commercial chili powder, which is a mix of spices not just ground chiles. The cumin and paprika are essential to the overall flavor.
Adjust the cayenne up or down based on your heat preference. Start with less and add more.
Tips:
Blooming the spice mix briefly in a hot pan with a little oil before adding other ingredients intensifies the flavor significantly.
Storage:
Store in a sealed spice jar or small airtight container away from heat and light for up to 6 months. The flavor fades over time so label with the date.
Swaps:
Smoked paprika can replace regular paprika for a deeper, smokier profile.
