MSG Free 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 are notorious for sneaking in anti-caking agents and flavor enhancers that can be hard to spot on a label, so mixing your own puts you completely in control. This blend layers ancho chile powder as its smoky, earthy backbone, then builds depth with ground cumin, two types of paprika, and a whisper of coriander. Garlic powder and onion powder round out the savory notes, while cayenne brings just enough heat to keep things interesting without overwhelming the other flavors. Everything gets whisked together in a single bowl and stored in an airtight jar, where it will stay fresh and potent for up to six months. Use it in chili, rubs, marinades, or anywhere you want bold, complex flavor you can trust completely.
