I don't use the stuff my self, commercial chili powder (mixes) that is. But a friend who knows I'm a chile head stumped me with a question I couldn't answer. What type of chile powder is used in chili powder (mixes)? I assume that it is some form of New Mex or maybe paprakia.. but don't know. So does anybody have the answer?
