Chipotle Rub

This recipe is also known as Adobo Seco de Chile Chipotle.  The flavors of this dry rub are similar to those of the Garlicky Ancho Chile Rub, with one exception: the sweet smokiness makes it perfect for anything made with pork or with roasted “starchy” vegetables (potatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes).
