Great outside of chili, fajitas, tacos -- good on roasted veggies esp cauliflower you can pack it on the florets and roast on high, add a kick to mayo or other condiments.

Spice 101
Chipotle Chili Powder is a robust blend that brings the heat and smoky flavor of the Chipotle morita, a smoked jalapeño, to the forefront. This blend is meticulously crafted without salt, allowing each cook to season their dishes to taste. The mix includes Paprika, Chipotle, Smoked Paprika, Ancho, Cumin, Indian Cayenne, Guajillo, Garlic, and NM Chile, Onion, creating a complex and versatile profile perfect for a variety of dishes from chili to veggie burgers.
The term 'chipotle' derives from the Nahuatl word 'chilpoctli', meaning smoked chili. These peppers are traditionally jalapeños that are left to ripen on the plant until they turn bright red and then smoked over wood to achieve their distinct flavor. This process was developed as a means to preserve the peppers long before refrigeration was available. In different regions of Mexico, the type of wood used for smoking can vary, which subtly alters the flavor profile of the chipotle. In the United States, particularly in Southwestern cuisine, chipotle chili powder has become a staple for imparting a smoky heat to meats, stews, and even vegetarian dishes. Its versatility and robust flavor profile make it a favorite among chefs and home cooks alike.
Our Chipotle Chili Powder has a deep, smoky character that adds a complex heat to any dish. It’s not just about the spice; it’s about adding a layer of flavor that enhances everything from a hearty chili to a simple marinade.
Did you know that chipotle peppers were originally smoked as a preservation method? This technique allowed the peppers to be stored for a considerable period, making them a valuable ingredient in traditional Mexican cuisine. Today, while we might not need to smoke peppers for preservation, this process remains beloved for the incredible depth of flavor it adds to the chipotle.

Won chili competition
First place in chili comoetiotion
I have ordered all these herbs and blends in the past. I enjoy using them. That is why I continue to order them.
I put those in every mexican and meats dish I make - never enough
This is a great spice as it’s not too hot and yet has a distinctive smoky flavor that can enhance Mexican dishes greatly!
Love it
Use Chipotle into all my cooking...great to enhance flavor...gives an extra spice flavor
My husband lives for spicy. This chipolte chili powder has a great depth of flavor, is spicy and allows me to use less salt in recipes because the flavor is strong enough and interesting enough to carry the meal on it’s own. I use it for chili (of course) but also on fishsticks and chicken meals. Love it!!!
This is a great blend, however, it's easily confused with the "chipotle chili flake" which is the plain, unblended chipotle that I intended to buy. I just thought this would be the finely ground version of it (not a blend). Don't make the same mistake as I did!
Everything from World Spice is fantastic! Have been shopping here for years
This order was a gift. The recipient has used it before and was thrilled with this order!
Just looking at this spice, you'll see the difference from grocery store blend. Smell it and you'll know the chili will be superb.
My favorite chili powder! I love the smokey, rich flavor. Want mild add a pinch, want heat add more.
My go-to chili powder! I love it's heat and smokiness. It's great to cook with, but you can also add it to pre-made chili for an easy taste boost.
Mild yet bold, it is my kids' favorite for chili!
This is a shelf staple of mine and I can't get enough! It's essential for black bean soup, chilies, quesadillas, and my favorite, roasted veggie nachos. Make a quick dip by adding it to sour cream or spice up some mayo for a sandwich of french fries.
The aroma of this is out of this world... warm, smoky, slightly sweet. I love it!
The chipotle chili powder is another long-time favorite of mine. The slightly smokey flavor enhances the gentle heat of this spice blend. I have used it for years & it is a regular for my grilling season, especially steak & lamb chops. I also use both ancho & chipotle blends in my homemade Zinfandel chilli.
Great product
Top shelf as always
Marvelous! Honestly haven’t had a chance to try it but it smells nice.
You should get this! Fresh and Wonderful!
Fantastic! flavorful
Smokey, medium spice If you routinely cook spicy, this is a nice mild chipotle that adds great flavor to any dish with just a dash or a pinch. If you don’t routinely cook spicy, a little goes a long way.
Excellent Really Fresh products and tasty. The smell stays in your kitchen and when you cook
Great
Great quality and makes a wonderful dip for fries I love the smoky flavor and I can make an awesome quick aioli. Just mix chipoltle, mayo and some garlic powder.
