3. 3

   In a medium bowl, combine smoked paprika, brown sugar, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and allspice; whisk until well blended.

4. 4

   Drain pasilla-ancho chiles well and transfer to a jar of a blender or food processor. Pour in red wine and add chipotle in adobo; process until smooth.

5. 5

   Take ground meat out from the fridge, add dry spice blend and pasilla chipotle mixture. Wearing gloves, mix all the ingredients until meat is well coated. Before making links or patties, take a small piece of meat and cook to see if the seasonings need to be adjusted.
