Badia Jalapeño Ground Spice, 2 oz

Ground jalapeño delivers the green, vegetal heat of fresh jalapeño in a shelf-stable powder. Milder than cayenne with a distinctly herbal edge, it adds Mexican and Tex-Mex character without the moisture of fresh chiles.

Common Uses

Dust over street corn, queso, guacamole, and refried beans. Work into taco meat, fajita marinades, and chili con carne. Stir into cornbread batter, jalapeño cheddar biscuits, and pimento cheese. Rim micheladas and margaritas with a salt-and-jalapeño blend.

Cuisine Context

Jalapeño is the defining chile of Tex-Mex and a kitchen staple from Veracruz to San Antonio. Ground form is essential when a recipe needs that green-pepper bite baked into the seasoning itself — dry rubs for grilled chicken, spice blends for chorizo, seasoning for tortilla chips and popcorn.

Pro Tip

Bloom it in warm oil or butter for 20 seconds before adding other ingredients. Fresh jalapeño character is volatile — heat releases it, but only briefly, so add it early in fat, not late as a finish.
