Chili Powder



Although the combination of chile peppers and oregano for seasoning has been traced to the ancient Aztecs, the present blend is said to be the invention of early Texans. Chili powder today is typically a blend of dried chiles, garlic powder, red peppers, oregano, and cumin.

It can spice up any dish. I add it to my scrambled eggs, in my 15 bean soup, to hamburgers...the list goes on. Chili powder isn't just for chili, my friends.
