Paging AdoreQVC !! chili question

I am getting ready to make the delicious sounding chili mac recipe you posted a couple days ago. I cannot find Ancho Powder anywhere. I even went to 2 hispanic stores today. Nada! As I understand it ancho is made from the poblano pepper. It is a mild, smoky chili. This is just so strange because I am in California, and mexican food is a staple here.

What would you recommend to use as substitute? More chili powder, or a smoky chipolte? I plan on grinding my own chicken thighs to sub for the beef, and I will add a bit of white corn (because I have it) and some black olives on top. I am excited as the recipe looks so good. What I like is it is made from scratch, and I can use my organic ingredients as needed

Hope you see this soon!

Thanks,
