Tree Nut Free Chili Powder Blend
Spice blends are one of those pantry staples that seem simple until you flip over a store-bought jar and start squinting at the fine print. Many commercial seasoning mixes are processed in facilities that also handle tree nuts, making that little tin of chili powder a surprisingly risky purchase for anyone managing a nut allergy. Making your own from scratch puts you completely in control, and this blend comes together in minutes with nothing but pure, single-ingredient spices. Ancho chile powder lays down a deep, earthy base while smoked and sweet paprika add layers of color and complexity that no store blend can quite match. A touch of cayenne brings the heat, cumin adds that unmistakable warmth, and dried oregano rounds everything out with a subtle herbal note. Whisk it all together, pour it into an airtight jar, and you've got a bold, reliable blend that keeps for up to six months. Use it on tacos, roasted vegetables, soups, or anywhere you want serious flavor without any second-guessing.
