Reverse engineering?

I'm trying to replicate -- minus the salt -- Williams-Sonoma's Chili[sic] Lime Rub and Spicy Chipotle Rub...has anyone any ideas?

Thanks!

For the Chipotle chili pepper rub (dry)

2T Chipotle chili pepper powder
1t Turkish cumin
1t Greek oregano
1t Chili powder blend or paprika
1t Dried onion
1t Dried garlic
1T Dried cilantro
2T Brown sugar
Salt & Pepper (likely lots of salt in the original)

Measurements are guesses - taste as you go.
Let use know if anything works

Todao,

That sounds really good...but it's not the W-S rub I need "hacked."

(My dad's blood pressure means he can't have salt at all.) But thanks!

All I really know about the Williams Sonoma rub is that it has " New Mexican chilies, California cilantro, Turkish cumin, paprika and more – plus sea salt and tart lime."

Thanks again,
