Just posted this recipe on the BBQ board in reponse to someone and figured I'd share here. This is a pretty basic chile powder and is the basis for all my rubs. Depending on what I plan on smoking, I add salt and sugar to varying degrees to this. Sort of like my instant rub recipe.
MEXICAN CHILE POWDER / RUB BASE
2 ancho chiles
3 guajillo chiles
5-6 chipotles (not canned)
2 tsp whole cumin
2 tsp whole coriander
1 TB dried mexican oregano
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
Toast the chiles on a dry skillet for a few seconds until they release flavor, then set aside until they are dry. I seed them, then throw them into a spice grinder with all the other ingredients and grind to the fineness you desire.
I suppose I could add other dried herbs... maybe some marjoram. But I sort of like keeping it simple.
