How to Make Light Chili Powder
- Combine 2 tablespoons of ground ancho chiles, 1 tablespoon of ground New Mexico chiles, 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon of ground oregano, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (or to taste), and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder in a small bowl.
- Thoroughly blend all ingredients until evenly distributed.
- Store the light chili powder blend in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
- For an even more intense flavor, lightly toast the cumin seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes before grinding. Grind to a fine powder using a mortar and pestle or spice grinder.
