Badia Chili Powder Spice, 5.5 lb

Chili Powder is the defining blend of Tex-Mex and Mexican-American cooking — ground chiles built out with cumin, garlic, and oregano into a single warm, earthy seasoning. The 5.5 lb size is sized for restaurants, taquerias, and high-volume kitchens running chili pots and taco bars daily.

Common Uses

Build a pot of Texas chili con carne or chili colorado. Season ground beef and shredded chicken for tacos, burritos, and enchiladas. Rub onto skirt steak for fajitas or pork shoulder for carnitas seasoning. Stir into refried beans, taco soup, and queso. Dust over roasted corn for elote, or work into spice rubs for ribs and brisket.

Cuisine Context

This is the workhorse of Tex-Mex kitchens from San Antonio to Los Angeles and the base layer of countless American chili recipes. Where chiles in adobo or dried anchos finish a sauce, chili powder starts it — fast, consistent, and ready to bloom in oil.

Pro Tip

Toast it in fat with onions at the start of the cook, not at the end. Thirty seconds in hot oil turns the powder from raw and dusty into deep, roasted chile flavor that carries the whole dish.
