Chili Seasoning Mix
Description
The Chili Seasoning Mix is composed of ground spices including chili powder, ground cumin, dried oregano, chipotle chili powder (or optionally cayenne pepper), thyme, and ground coriander. The ingredients are simply combined and stored, creating a versatile blend that brings earthy, smoky, and mildly spicy notes to dishes. Chipotle powder adds a smoky heat, which can be adjusted depending on taste.
This blend is intended to season chili made with about 2 pounds of meat or sweet potatoes, allowing the spices to meld during cooking. It brings complexity without needing multiple separate spices while allowing adjustments for heat level.
Proper storage in a dark, cool place maintains freshness for up to six months. When shopping for chili powder, note that some varieties may be pure ground dried chiles rather than an American-style blend, so verify color and aroma for the intended flavor profile.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup chili powder (see note 1)
- 2 tablespoons cumin ground
- 1 tablespoon oregano dried
- 2 teaspoons chipotle chili powder or 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (see note 2)
- 2 teaspoons thyme dried
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, oregano, chipotle chili powder, thyme, and coriander. Stir to combine. Store covered for up to 6 months.
Notes
- Use an American-style chili powder blend rather than pure ground dried red chiles for authentic flavor.
- Start with less chipotle chili powder if unsure of heat level, and adjust at the end of cooking to taste.
- This mix yields about 1/2 cup seasoning, sufficient for 8 servings of chili made from 2 pounds of ground meat or sweet potatoes.
- Store the seasoning mix in a cool, dark place to retain flavor for up to six months.
