Chili powder is a finely ground spice blend made from dried chiles and supporting spices. It is brick-red with a warm, earthy aroma and moderate heat; it seasons chili, tacos, stews, and bean dishes, builds dry rubs, and adds color to sauces. Sold as mild to hot blends in a fine powder texture.\n\nRooted in the American Southwest with influence from Mexican chile traditions, it spread through Tex-Mex and broader American cooking. Commercial blends typically grind dried chiles with cumin, oregano, and garlic, sometimes including salt.
