Ingredients
Chipotle Spice Blend:
1 tablespoon sugar
2 to 3 teaspoons chipotle powder
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin

Vegetable or canola oil, for the baking sheet

1 cup unsalted raw cashews
1 cup unsalted raw macadamia nuts
1 cup unsalted raw peanuts
1 cup unsalted raw walnuts
1 cup popped popcorn
1/2 cup chopped cooked bacon
2 tablespoons crumbled dried chilies
Directions
- For the chipotle spice blend: Mix together the sugar, chipotle powder, coriander, cumin, lime zest, granulated garlic and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt in a small bowl and set aside.
- For the nuts: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a rimmed baking sheet with the oil.
