Tips:

•Canela, also called true, Mexican, Ceylon, or Sri Lanka cinnamon, is a less pungent variety than the cassia cinnamon commonly used in the U.S.. It's available at www.adrianascaravan.com.
•Guajillos are large, dark-red chiles with a nutty flavor and not too much heat. Chiles de arbol are a long, red, hot variety. Both are available at www.adrianascaravan.com.
