Enchiladas Rojas

Step 2: Blend the sauce

  • Enchilada sauce

    • ancho peppers
      3-4
    • chipotles in adobo
      3-4
    • garlic
      2-3 cloves
    • onions
      1/4
    • water
      as needed
    • salt
      a sprinkle

In the meantime, remove the seeds and stems from the dried chiles. Optionally, you can the chiles on a cast iron pan. Add the chiles to a small pot of water and for 10 minutes or until they become soft. Afterward, set them aside without draining the water.

In a blender, combine the hydrated chiles, garlic, another 1/4 piece of onion, and some of the chile water. Blend these ingredients until you achieve a smooth consistency. Add more water as necessary to ensure the sauce is fairly thin.
