It's important to note that the exact proportions of these ingredients can vary widely, and some chili powder blends may include additional spices such as coriander, cinnamon, or other regional variations. The combination of these ingredients creates a versatile spice blend that is commonly used in chili con carne, Tex-Mex cuisine, and a wide range of savory dishes to add heat and flavor.

So, can you substitute cayenne for paprika (or vice versa)? While you’ll at least end up with a similarly colored dish, the flavor won’t be the same. In a pinch, you could throw in a dash of hot paprika in place of cayenne powder. However, we wouldn’t suggest substituting these spices the other way around—you could wind up with a way-too-spicy sauce!
