Mexican chili powder is a spice blend commonly used in Mexican cooking to add heat and flavor to dishes. It typically consists of a combination of ground chili peppers, such as ancho, chipotle, or guajillo, along with other spices like cumin, oregano, garlic powder, and sometimes paprika. The specific blend of chili powders may vary, giving each brand or recipe a slightly different flavor profile. Mexican chili powder is known for its rich, smoky, and slightly sweet taste, which adds depth and complexity to Mexican dishes like chili con carne, enchiladas, and tacos.
