This spice mixture has a medium spice level. I can't wait to try it in some soup!

1/2 cup ground New Mexico Chiles (about 1 bag)

2 1/2 T cumin seeds, toasted

2 1/2 T garlic powder

2 t Mexican oregano, rubbed

1 t salt

Toss everything in a blender, grinder or grind with a mortar and pestle. Blend just til everything is evenly distributed. Taste and adjust as desired.

This is perfect for my needs. I made up my mind after grinding the habaneros I didn't want anymore store bought Mexican chili powder until I knew what brand to buy next time. We've had good chili powder before, but the stuff we have now is far too bland and has a yuck taste to it. Thanks for posting this. I'm going to copy it off pronto. Still can't get that cheese and onion enchilada down. It is a good thing craving a food can not kill me.

That would be great in chili! It's funny, as I get older I want more heat that I used to be able to tolerate.

You can get things that I can't in this little place. I'll have to wait until I get to a bulk spice store.
Wow, I thought about you and chilis today when I was in the store. They had huge bags of them in the produce section in this particular store. Lol, much more than I'd ever need in a lifetime.

Nice recipe

Nice formulation. Will it explode if eaten too fast?

Every fall I order chile powder from Hatch, New Mexico. It's so much better than what's available on the store shelves it's like night and day. If you buy it, keep it in the fridge so it won't get moldy.

What the heck is going on with those enchiladas, Lynn?

I 'might' be able to handle something on a medium spice level, but go light on it so it's down to a low spice level.

This makes me want some like chili or something.
