Alton Brown's Chili Powder
I have been using this recipe for a year or so, and it tastes great. Makes chili taste like chili and is awsome in mexican cooking. Often times I can't find all the dried chiles listed here, so I'll just mix and match, but keeping the ratio roughly the same.

- store in an airtight jar.
- be sure to wash you blender carafe a few times after doing this or you fruit smoothy or margarita will taste like chiles.
