This red chile sauce is so versatile, so delicious, and so easy to make. This sauce is awesome because at its base, it can be used on so many different dishes, from enchiladas to tamales to menudo and so much more. All you got to do is start with this base, and then you can tweak it in any direction, probably as many different sauces as there are chilies, and that's not even taking into account that every single house is going to do it a little bit different.
So whether you're in Texas, New Mexico, Mexico, or along the frontera or anywhere in the USA, remember my advice, what Arnie takes always says, ain't no right way, ain't no wrong way to make chili sauce, and don't let nobody tell you you can't do it the way you like it.
Maybe what your grandma taught your mom, what my grandma taught my mom and my mom taught me may not be exactly the same, even if they're similar, but of course, my grandma's is better than yours. Just kidding! Don't get mad!
Let me just cover real quickly the couple of the different chiles I have. Now, the package here says cascabel or guajillo. It doesn't mean they're the same thing because they're not, but it means you might get one or the other in this package or possibly both. We also have some ancho chile, and we also have some pasilla chile. And I also have some chile de arbol down here. We use that one in our red chili sauce just to give it a little hint of heat and a little more complex flavor.
All right, so in the recipe we're going to use 15 guajillo/cascabel chiles, a couple of ancho chiles, and probably about four or five of the chile de arbol, a whole onion, and six cloves of garlic. All right, friend, let's get started and make this amazing red chili sauce.

Chipotle Chile
The real deal! These large brown and wrinkled are not to be confused with mora chiles, which are often marketed as chipotle. These well smoked chiles are notorious for their versatility.
True chipotle grandes are made from a special variety of large, ripe Jalapeño that is much meatier and fruitier than regular jalapeños. The chipotle grande chile, also known in Mexico as the ‘meco,’ can be used flaked or ground in a host of recipes, or dry toasted in a pan and then rehydrated to prepare an all-purpose smoked chile paste. The seeds of the chipotle grande are usually left in the pod.

Rick Bayless Essential Salsas: Chipotle Salsa
RECIPE ????
What you’ll notice right away is that this is the rusty-colored red chile version of the green chile roasted tomatillo salsa, minus the cilantro. When we started Frontera Foods a quarter of a century ago, this was one of the 5 icon salsas we started with. And its sales have tied for number one with the roasted tomatillo salsa for all those years. It’s even more complex when you add other dried chiles, but you’ll need to toast and soak those first—a step canned chipotles allows you to skip. It’s tangy, sweet and smoky, an all-around crowd pleaser.
easy chicken marinade!
Easy chicken marinade ????
Marinade:
2 sliced jalapeño
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 tbs cumin
1 tbs smoked paprika
1 tsp oregano
4 cloves minced garlic
Zest of 1-2 limes
3 tbs lime juice
Big pinch of salt and pepper
This marinade will literally work amazing with Steak, chicken thighs or chicken breasts!
Add 2-3lbs of meat of choice to a gallon bag along with your marinade!
Let sit for at least 2-3 hours or overnight in the fridge!
These work amazing on the grill or even just as easy to cook up in a pan! I like the crispness an air fryer brings so I threw mine in at 390° for about 6 minutes, then flipped for another 6 or until internal temp hits about 160°
Avocado corn salsa: (that I can literally put on anything)!
1 cup cherry tomatoes quartered
1 roasted cobb of corn kernels
1 cubed avocado
1/2 cup minced onion
3/4 cup rinsed black beans
Big handful of chopped cilantro
2 limes juiced
Salt and pepper to taste
Makes 4 servings:

Or approx 127 kcals per serving
I Love to throw all this on top of some rice! Such an easy dinner or healthy meal prep!
Those tortilla strips, I just sliced thin strips of flour tortillas and tossed in a little avocado oil, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Then air fried for a couple minutes at 390°
