Homemade Chili Powder
This recipe is one more reason I love dried chiles. Yes, you can re-hydrate them and then puree them into chili or enchilada sauce , but you can also make your own chili powder. I'm not sure about you, but I go through a ton of chili powder. Before making my own, I used to always buy the biggest container of it that I could find.
