This spice rub has the great flavor of ​Chipotle peppers. Just make sure that the rub is finely ground before using it. Great on ribs, this rub brings just a touch of heat, but a lot of flavor.

What You'll Need

  • 2 dried Chipotle peppers (use 3 to heat it up a little)
  • 3 tablespoons (45 mL) black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons (30 mL) dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon (15 mL) dried cilantro leaves
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon (5 mL) cumin
  • 1 teaspoon (5 mL) onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon (5 mL) ground dry orange peel
