Przygotowanie

  1. Toast and boil the chiles

    • Clean the New Mexico rojo chile pods and the ancho chiles, removing stems and seeds.
    • Place them in a pot, cover with water and bring to a boil over high heat.
    Krok 1
  2. Blend the red chile sauce

    • Transfer the boiled chiles to the blender with the onion, garlic, oregano, cumin seeds, peppercorns and salt.
    • Add the water and blend until completely smooth.

  3. Simmer the sauce

    • Heat a little lard in a pot over medium heat.
    • Add the chile sauce, straining it if needed, and bring to a simmer.
    • Taste for salt and adjust, then reserve a cup and a half of the sauce for the masa.
    Krok 3
  4. Make the meat filling

    • Add the shredded meat to the remaining sauce and mix well.
    • Cook for 15 minutes, then set aside to cool.
