Rancho Gordo New Mexican Red Chile Powder

Rich, smoky chile powder is essential for chili con carne, pozole and other slow-simmered dishes. Made from just ground chiles sourced from New Mexico, Rancho Gordo’s chile powder is fresh and bright, adding both a smoky depth and just the right amount of heat to soups and stews. Try it in our recipe for Smoky Vegetarian Chili, a substantial meatless main.

Based in Napa, California, Rancho Gordo has been revitalizing heirloom beans and more since 2001. The company has become a cult-favorite with legume lovers, boasting an impressive roster of fans including celebrity chefs like Thomas Keller and the late Marcella Hazan.
