Chili Taco Seasoning

Chili & Taco Seasoning is a blend of spices that is composed mainly of chili peppers and combined with other spices including cumin, onion, garlic, and sometimes salt. The chilis are most commonly red chili peppers; and sometimes may include cayenne pepper. As a result of the recipes used, the spiciness of any given chili powder can fluctuate. Cinnamon and cocoa are sometimes added as well.

This blend of spices is not just for Chili and Tacos. This is also good in a variety of Mexican dishes like burritos, enchiladas, carnitas, tostadas, and empanadas.

Chili powder is sometimes known by the specific type of chili pepper used or a variety of chili peppers. This is used in many different cuisines, including Mexican, Chinese, Indian, Bengali, Korean, Portuguese, and Thai. Chili powder blend is the key flavour in Chili.

Cumin: This spice is native to the Middle East and India. But it is a huge part of Mexican cuisine. Cumin has a warm, earthy flavor and aroma with a bit of bitterness and nutty flavour. Cumin is an essential Mexican spice. Cumin is frequently a flavor used in Chili & Taco Seasonings.

Garlic: Garlic is one of the most common Mexican spices. Garlic can be found in fresh, or powder form. It is often used in salsa and taco seasoning. Another spice that is commonly used alongside garlic in Mexican cuisine would be onion.

Cocoa: This adds depth and richness to your Mexican Inspired meals.

The first commercial blend of chili powder is still sold today under the name “Gebhardt Chili Powder” This was created by D.C. Pendery and William Gebhardt. Gebhardt opened Miller's Saloon in New Braunfels, Texas. Chili was the town's favorite dish. However, chili peppers could only be found at certain times of the year. Gebhardt imported some ancho peppers from Mexico and ran the peppers through a small meat grinder and created the first commercial chili powder, which became available in 1894.

The Southwestern Cuisine is food styled after the rustic cooking of the Southwestern United States. It incorporates a blend of recipes for things that might have been eaten by Spanish colonial settlers, cowboys, Native Americans, and Mexicans throughout the post-Columbian era; there is, however, a great diversity in this kind of cuisine throughout the Southwestern states.
