Chili powder is easily confused with ground chile peppers. When a recipe calls for chile pepper, it means pure ground chiles. Chili powder, on the other hand, is a blend of ground chiles and other ingredients. This is the chili powder called for in recipes such as chili con carne, baked beans, Spanish rice, steak tacos, and enchilada sauce. The Mild Tex-Mex Chile also makes a great rub for barbecue or grilled meats and veggies. Ingredients: Chiles, cumin, garlic, oregano, silicon dioxide.
