Instructions
Guajillo chili powder is my favorite ingredient to swap out for ancho chiles or chili powder. Use either guajillo chiles or chili powder in a 1:1 ratio as a substitute.
The next best options, that can also be used in an equal 1:1 ratio as substitutes for ancho chiles or ancho chili powder, are crushed red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, or chipotle chili powder.
