Ingredients
- 4 whole Dried ancho chili peppers
- 4 whole Dried guajillo chili peppers
- 2 whole Dried cayenne peppers
- 2 tablespoons Ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon Paprika (preferably smoked)
- 1 tablespoon Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Place the dried ancho, guajillo, and cayenne peppers in a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast them for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until the peppers are fragrant but not burned.
Step 2
Remove the peppers from the skillet. Let them cool for a minute before using scissors to cut off the stems. Shake out the seeds and discard them as desired (for less heat, remove more seeds).
Step 3
Roughly tear the peppers into smaller pieces and add them to a spice grinder or high-powered blender.
Step 4
Add the ground cumin, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, cinnamon, and salt to the grinder or blender with the pepper pieces.
Step 5
Grind the spices together until they form a fine, uniform powder. This may take 1-2 minutes depending on your grinder.
Step 6
Carefully transfer the chili powder to an airtight container or spice jar for storage.
Step 7
Store the Big Bull Hot Chili Powder in a cool, dry place for up to 6 months. Shake the jar before use to redistribute the spices if needed.
Step 8
Use this chili powder in recipes that call for bold heat and robust flavor. Start with 1-2 teaspoons per dish and adjust to taste.
