Ingredients

  • 1 cup Dried Peppers- guajillo ancho, and chipotle, seeded
  • 1 Lime zested
  • 2 tsp. Coarse Sea Salt

Instructions

  • PLEASE NOTE: I highly recommend wearing gloves when working with the dried peppers! This is just a precaution.
  • With a sharp knife, slice open your peppers and remove the seeds and stems. I use about 1 cup of dried whole peppers for this recipe which will yield about a half cup ground.
  • Run your knife through the dried pepper pieces to help them fit in the spice grinder. Place them in the base.
  • Zest your lime and add it into the grinder fresh. You can also use dehydrated lime or citric acid in place of the fresh lime zest.
  • Finally, add the salt.
  • Once everything is in the spice grinder, pulse the mixture until it's finely blended.
  • Remove and place in a bowl or into a glass jar and store for later.

Notes

If you like a little more heat to your peppers, opt to keep the seeds in!
