From marinades and seasonings to flavorful main courses, here you'll find delicious recipes with chili powder!
What is chili powder?
What is referred to as chili powder in the U.S. is a blend of different spices and one herb. It's not purely ground chili peppers, despite what the name would have you believe.
Chili powder does have various ground chili peppers in it (such as ancho or chipotle peppers). But in addition to that it contains cumin, oregano, dehydrated garlic and sometimes salt.
Chili powder is widely available in spice shops and you usually have the choice between mild, medium and hot. The level of spiciness is determined by the types and amounts of chili peppers used to make the blend.
Chili powder vs. cayenne:
Chili powder is a spice blend that contains ground chili peppers in addition to other ingredients. Cayenne powder is simply ground cayenne peppers. The two are therefore quite different and not interchangeable.
How to use chili powder:
Chili powder adds great flavor to many meat dishes, like this chili with chuck roast or this pulled chicken. It also works great in dipping sauces, like this chili lime aioli and this spicy burger sauce. Below are more delicious chili powder recipes for you to try!
