Here's what I found. I would add a little powdered lime or lemon to it
though but that's just my taste.

20 piquín chiles OR de Árbol, wiped clean with a cloth, stems removed
1/2 cup salt

Dry roast chiles over medium heat in skillet until fragrant, about 5-8
minutes. Set aside to cool completely.

Transfer chiles to spice grinder and grind to a fine powder. Mix well
with salt. Keep in an airtight container.
