Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon chipotle chili powder see notes

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Make chipotle powder by grinding 1-2 whole chipotle peppers or 1 ½ tablespoons of chipotle chili flakes.
  • Add all the ingredients to a dry, airtight container and shake to mix.
  • Taste and adjust the spices as desired.
  • Makes 4 tablespoons.
  • Label and store in a cool, dry place.

Notes

  • After testing, 1 chipotle pepper yielded 2 heaping teaspoons of ground chipotle powder, and 1 tablespoon of chipotle chili flakes yielded 2 ¾ teaspoons of chipotle powder.
  • This recipe was developed using regular, Mediterranean-style oregano. Mexican oregano is stronger, so I recommend starting with ½ - ¾ teaspoon.
  • Label chipotle seasoning with the date and particulars like salt-free or super-hot.
