Chili Colorado Sauce

Marinade, Rubs, Sauce, Mexican

Ingredients

  • 6 dehydrated New Mexico chili pods
  • 6 dehydrated Guajillo chili pods
  • 4 cups beef stock
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 to 2 tsp. salt (or to taste)
  • 2 tsp. oregano
  • 2 tsp. cumin
  • Optional: 1/2 tbsp. ground cayenne pepper for extra heat

DIRECTIONS

  1. Probably a good idea to wear gloves. Split open the chili pods and remove the seeds and stem.
  2. Heat the beef broth to a rolling boil. Add the chili pods to the beef broth and turn the heat off.
  3. Let the pods re-hydrate for 30 minutes.
  4. Sauté onion and garlic.
  5. Add all ingredients (including the beef broth) to a blender and mix well.
  6. Add the sauce to a strainer to remove the skins of the pods that did not mix well.
  7. Freeze the sauce or use it in your favorite Chili Colorado recipe.

Serve with hot flour tortillas or over cauliflower rice!
