Instructions
- 1
Place the guajillo, ancho, and chile de arbol pieces in a medium bowl and cover with boiling water. Let soak for 25–30 minutes, until the chiles are fully softened and pliable. Drain, discarding the soaking liquid.

While the chiles soak, toast the caraway, coriander, and cumin seeds in a dry small skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and lightly golden, about 2–3 minutes. Watch closely, as they can scorch quickly. Transfer immediately to a small plate to cool.
