Ingredients

  • 1 cup peppers such as guajillo, ancho, or chipotle, dried and seeded
  • 1 lime zested
  • 2 teaspoons coarse sea salt

Directions

  • With gloved hands and using a sharp knife, slice open the peppers, removing any remaining seeds and the stems.
  • Run the knife through the dried pepper pieces to help them fit into a spice grinder.
  • Place the pepper pieces into the spice grinder.
  • Add the lime zest and sea salt into the grinder.
  • Once everything is in the spice grinder, pulse the mixture until it is finely blended.
  • Remove the seasoning, place it in a bowl or into a glass jar, and store it for later use.
