Citrus and Spice Costillitas

This recipe is inspired by the iconic Mexican flavor combo found in so many candies and packaged marinade powders: dried chile and citrus. Now you can make your own. You can double or quadruple the yield and keep any leftover spice mix—before adding the juice—in a container with a tightly fitting lid, in your pantry, for later. Chile-citrus powder adds a punch of flavor to anything it touches, including potatoes, chicken, and pork.
