Chili Lime Seasoning

Ingredients

• 1 ounce guajillo chiles, (stemmed and seeded)
• 2 teaspoons citric acid
• 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt

Steps

1. 1

   Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast the guajillo chiles for 1-2 minutes until toasted and fragrant, flipping every 30 seconds so they don’t burn. Transfer them to a bowl and allow them to cool for 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Add the toasted chiles to a small blender or spice grinder, and blend them into a fine powder.

3. 3

   Transfer the ground chile powder to a small bowl and stir in the citric acid, sugar, and salt.

4. 4

   Taste and adjust if needed. Use as a garnish or seasoning on your favorite Mexican recipes.
