Making your own chili powder ∞

If you’re interested in a sweet taste, I recommend adding raisins and not anything like honey or sweetened chocolate. Raisins give a more contained occasional “burst”, which I prefer. I would recommend current raisins as they are much smaller and their texture is nicer.

• 1 ounce (28 g – I think this is 6 tsp) dried mild red chiles, such as ancho, guajillo, or New Mexico (or sub 1/4 cup ground mild red chile powder as original recipe is written // adjust amount as needed)
• 2 Tbsp ground cumin

• 1 Tbsp dried oregano
• 1 Tbsp smoked paprika
• 1 tsp ground coriander
• 1/4-1/2 tsp ground cayenne (optional for heat)
