Gut Friendly Chili Powder Blend
Making your own spice blend from scratch is one of those small kitchen moves that pays off every single time you reach for it. Store-bought chili powders often sneak in fillers, anti-caking agents, or mystery additives that can irritate a sensitive digestive system, so controlling exactly what goes into the jar is a genuine win. This blend layers ancho chile powder with cumin, two kinds of paprika, and a gentle hit of cayenne for a smoky, complex flavor that tastes anything but stripped down. Garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and coriander round everything out so you get real depth without relying on anything processed or hard to digest. The whole thing comes together in minutes — just whisk the spices until they're fully combined and transfer to an airtight jar. It keeps for up to six months, which means you can batch it ahead and have a reliable, gut-conscious seasoning ready to go whenever a recipe calls for chili powder.
