  • 2 ½ tablespoons Assorted dried herbs I used basil, oregano, and cilantro, and rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt

Instructions

  • Slice about half the chiles lengthwise and scrape the seeds. Add the chile de arbol (sliced, whole, seeds and all) to a mason jar, along with the dried herbs and salt.
