How to Make Chili Powder Spice Mix
- Stem and deseed 1 ounce (28 grams) dried chiles (such as ancho, pasilla, or New Mexico) and break into large pieces.
- Toast the dried chile pieces in an ungreased iron skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Do not burn.
- Remove chiles from skillet and set aside to cool completely.
- In the same skillet, toast 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 1 tablespoon ground coriander, and 1 teaspoon ground cloves over low heat for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant.
- Set aside in a small bowl to cool completely.
- Grind the cooled chile pieces in a spice grinder or small coffee mill until finely powdered. Place in a medium bowl.
- Grind the cooled toasted spices and 1 teaspoon dried oregano in the same way. Add to the bowl with the chiles and stir to combine.
- Re-grind the entire mixture to a fine powder. Ensure even consistency.
- If desired, blend in 1 tablespoon paprika and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Adjust to your spice preference.
- Transfer the chili powder mix to an airtight container. Store in a cool, dark place.
- For best flavor, use within 6 months.
