Blend Your Own Chili Powder
Whether you spell it with an i or an e, the blending various powderized chiles with onion, garlic and salt is the basis for Southwestern flavor.
Enthusiasts will doubtlessly want to mix and match their favorite varieties and adjust the amounts for heat preference. Some will simply buy some Gebhardt’s or McCormick’s, though there’s a considerable savings in creating your own. Others will try this and like it, and use it forever.
