A simple way to make your chiles into a sauce. Fresh roasted chiles are ideal, although you may substitute frozen roasted chiles. Use green chiles for chicken and pork dishes and red chiles for beef. Chile sauce is great in enchiladas or over burritos for a "wet" burrito.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs red or green chiles, roasted and skin removed
- 2-3 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- juice of 1/4 lime
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1-2 jalapenos seeded (optional for spiciness)
- 2 cups drinking water
Preparation:
Blend chiles in food processor until chunky. Add in remaining ingredients and process until smooth.
Use immediately or freeze for later use.
