I don't measure the spices. I use: Cumin, Cinnamon, and chili powder. Sometimes paprika and cocoa.
I use 3-4 chipotle peppers, chopped up fairly small, and a generous portion of adobo sauce. I don't tend to use the cilantro. I usually squeeze the juice from the lime into the chili at the end, after the beans have been added. This recipe is great with white corn chips instead of (or in addition to) white rice. Also, for those who are not vegan, it does taste good with extra sharp cheddar cheese. You really should have some sort of starch with it, because it is hot.
