  • 8 (50 g) guajillo chile pepper [or or similar dried chilies], stems removed, seeds removed if less heat is desired

Chef's Notes

  • The pepper stems and seeds in this recipe are removed for heat, however, they may be kept in if desired. Making a fresh spice blend like this brings you confidence that there's no stabilizers, fillers, or other ingredients you don't actually need in your spice blends. Try making small batches at a time to ensure your spices are used at their peak freshness.
