Ingredients:

  • 1 ounce dried mild red chiles, such as ancho, guajillo, or New Mexico
  • 2 Tbsp ground cumin

  4. IF USING GROUND CHILES: Add chile powder to a small bowl or jar along with cumin, garlic powder, oregano, smoked paprika, coriander, cayenne, cinnamon, and cocoa powder (optional) and stir or shake to combine.
  5. Perfect for making chili, BBQ sweet potato croutons, chili fries, vegan taco meat, chickpea kale salad, fish tacos, pumpkin black bean soup, and burrito bowls.
