For the seasoning, lightly roast the chiles on a comal, being careful not to burn them, and blend the chiles until you get a very fine powder. In a bowl, mix the chili powder with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside. In a skillet over low heat, toast the almonds until they release their aroma and remove. In the same skillet, heat the olive oil and cook the chili mixture until it forms a paste. Add the almonds, hot sauce, and lime juice. Cook for a few minutes and remove. Let the almonds dry and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve in containers.
