Homemade Chili Powder Recipe
Description
The Homemade Chili Powder Recipe combines dried chili powders with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and cumin to produce a spice blend suitable for various dishes. Guajillo and ancho chili powders provide mild warmth and depth, complemented by a kick of cayenne pepper. The garlic and onion powders add savory aromatics, while salt enhances overall flavor.
You can customize the heat level by selecting different types or quantities of dried chilies. The recipe also suggests optionally adding dried oregano or basil for herbal notes. This chili powder can be stored up to a year in airtight containers, retaining its flavor.
For a fresher chili powder, you can toast and grind whole dried chilies such as guajillo, ancho, and cayenne peppers before mixing them with the other spices.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons guajillo chili powder
- 2 tablespoons ancho powder
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder

- ¼ teaspoon cumin
Instructions
- Mix together the chili powders with the garlic powder, onion powder, salt and cumin. You can add other ingredients as well, such as dried oregano, dried basil or more.

Notes
- This chili powder has a mild heat but robust flavor, adjustable by varying chili types and quantities.
- The recipe yields about half a cup of chili powder.
- To make fresh chili powder, dry toast whole chilies until fragrant, then remove stems and seeds before grinding to a powder.
- Store the chili powder in airtight containers for up to one year to maintain freshness.
