but i didn't roast the chipotes or the guajillo's......those are for the chicken adobo tomorrow

i roasted the De Arbol's, they don't take long.....thin and small
the Cali's (anaheims)
and the Ancho's........i screwed up and didn't take pics before i roasted......

here is a pic, after roasting.............the De Arbol's had parts that i need to roast more, the thick ends/bottoms, where the flesh was the thickest
