Most store-bought chili powders are a mystery blend — and some contain anti-caking agents or fillers that can sneak in unwanted additives. Making your own from scratch means you know exactly what's going into every pinch. This blend layers ancho chile powder as its smoky, earthy backbone, then builds depth with cumin, two kinds of paprika, and a gentle heat from cayenne. Garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, and coriander round everything out into a blend that tastes far more complex than the sum of its parts. Every single ingredient here is a pure, single-source spice — no carriers, no oils, nothing hidden. Stir it together, jar it up, and you've got a reliable pantry staple ready to go for the next six months of soups, braises, and taco nights.
