Remove the stems and seeds from the dried ancho, guajillo, and chipotle chiles. Discard the stems and seeds.
Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Toast the dried chiles for 1-2 minutes per side until lightly fragrant, being careful not to burn them.

Using a spice grinder, blender, or food processor, grind the toasted chile pieces into a fine powder.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the freshly ground chile powder with the ground cumin, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground oregano, salt, and ground black pepper.
Mix thoroughly to combine all the spices evenly.
Transfer the chile powder mix into an airtight container or spice jar for storage.
