Ingredients
- 4 dried ancho chiles
- 4 dried New Mexico chiles
- 3 cups chicken stock
- ½ white onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
- Make a slit in each of the ancho chiles and New Mexico chiles with a sharp knife, and remove the seeds and stem. Place the chiles in a large saucepan, and add the chicken stock, onion, and garlic. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium, and simmer until the chiles have softened, about 15 minutes.
- Pour the chile mixture into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the mixture moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the chile mixture right in the cooking pot.
- Chipotle Red Chili Paste: For a hotter and smokier flavor, add 2 or more dried chipotles.

Reviews
It was delicious! Much more like real New Mexico red than the tomato-based salsa we get here in Colorado. This is the real thing.
Very, very good. It came out the consistency of a sauce, not a paste. No reason to buy store-bought versions, trust me. I added 2 dried chipotle peppers as written in the notes. Thank you Pasquale for the recipe.
Made the chile sauce. Now I need to make enchilada’s or something to try it out. Too hot right now to cook. The sauce taste good.
This recipe sounds awesome. I have not tried it yet, but I can’t wait to make it. I have been looking for sauces such as this and I’m hoping it turns out as good as it sounds
