Tips

Chiltepins (also known as chile tepin) are very hot, small, round peppers native to Mexico. If you can't find them, substitute with other hot peppers like bird's eye chilis or cayenne. This recipe has an intense flavor profile - the large amount of chili powder is authentic but can be reduced if desired. Mexican oregano works best in this recipe if available.
