Grilled Dishes with Chili Powder

Chili powder, a blend of ground chilies and other spices, isn't grilled on its own. Instead, it acts as a foundational seasoning for ingredients cooked over an open flame. When applied to meats or vegetables before grilling, the heat activates the spice blend, deepening its flavor and creating a savory crust.
