Recipe by Chef Mary Lou Davis (Hell's Kitchen, Season 19)-@Geeksandgrubs www.geeksandgrubs.com
I absolutely Love a Margarita with a chili rim. Because I ran out of tajin, I decided to make my own with True Lime and it came out amazingly.
You need an arrangement of chili's. This is what I have chosen but can substitute whatever you need to.

Ingredients
- 5 Chili de arbol, de seeded ( this chili provides heat, so use up to your tolerance)
- 3 Ancho chili, de seeded (this provides smokiness)
- 5 Puya Chilis, de seeded (this a fruitier chili and a blanca between spice and smoke)
-
1.5 Tbs True Lime
- 1Tbs salt
Directions
- Over a cast iron skillet, heat up the chilis until fragrant. Then let sit until cooled. This should be approx 20min. This prevents the spices from sticking to the mixture and becoming clumpy.Once the chilis are cold completely and place them in your blender and blend until average spice size.
- Once we have reached the desired sizing, place in a sifter and separate the big chunks, repeat the earlier process 1 more time to break down the spices further.
- Taste and enjoy, you just made your own chili rub. Try on top of fruits, cucumbers, or rim your glasses with it.
