re: New Mexico Enchiladas w/ Red Sauce recipe w/ Pics

Red Chile Powder:

Temperature: 250°F
Roasting Time:10 minutes Approximately


Dried New Mexico red chile pods, stems removed

1. Rinse and dry chile pods. Remove seeds, if desired.
2. Place chile pods on a cookie sheet in a 250°F oven for approximately 10 minutes. Turn chile pods several times to avoid scorching (the chile pods will turn a deeper red).
3. The toasted chile pods may be used for preparing red chile suace.


Red Sauce:

2 tablespoons shortening
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons flour
1 tablespoon garlic
1/8 - 1/4 cup Red Chile Powder
1/8 cup Oregano
2 cups cold water
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon tomato sauce

1. Heat shortening in a medium saucepan on medium heat.
Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.

2. Add chile powder and cook for an additional minute.

3. Gradually add the water and stir, making sure that no lumps form.

4. Add seasonings to sauce and simmer at low heat for 10-15 minutes.

5. Add 1 tablespoon tomato sauce to cut spiciness and add acidity to sauce. I always do this.
