Homemade Chili Powder
How to make your own chili powder with dried chiles and other dried herbs and spices.
Servings: 1 /2 Cup
Calories: 37kcal
Ingredients
- 3 oz Dried Chiles I used a blend of guajillo and ancho chiles
- 1 oz Tortilla Chips
- 2 Tbsp Ground Cumin
- 1 Tbsp Garlic Powder
- 1 Tbsp Ground Coriander
- 1 Tbsp Paprika
- 1 Tbsp Dried Mexican Oregano
- 2 tsp Black Pepper
- 1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
Instructions
- Remove the stems from the dried chiles before cutting the chiles into small pieces. Discard all the seeds and any membranes. Toast the chiles in a pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes until fragrant. (Keep the chiles moving. There shouldn't be any smoke.)
- Let the chiles cool while you add the remaining ingredients to a food processor. Once cool, add the chiles and blend everything together until evenly mixed, about 2-3 minutes.
- Store in an air tight container but freshly made chili powder yields best results.
