12 guajillo chiles
3 Tbsp. lard
1 onion, chopped
8 cloves garlic, chopped
1 can (14-1/2 oz.) fire-roasted crushed tomatoes, undrained
1/4 cup PLANTERS Dry Roasted Unsalted Peanuts
1 Mexican cinnamon stick (canela), broken into small pieces
1 Tbsp. dried Mexican oregano
1 tsp. ground coriander
1/4 tsp. anise seed

1/2 cup raisins
3-3/4 cups water, divided
3 WYLER'S Instant Bouillon Chicken Flavored Cubes
1 oz. BAKER'S Unsweetened Chocolate, chopped

Steps:

  • Place chiles in medium bowl. Cover with boiling water; let stand 15 min. or until peppers are softened. Meanwhile, melt lard in large saucepan on medium heat. Add onions and garlic; cook and stir until 3 to 5 min. or until onions are tender. Remove from heat.
  • Blend tomatoes and nuts in blender until smooth. Add cinnamon, oregano, coriander, anise seed, peppercorns and onion mixture; blend until smooth.
  • Drain chiles, reserving 1/2 cup of the soaking liquid for later use. Add chiles and raisins to tomato mixture in blender; blend until smooth. Pour through strainer into cooked onions in saucepan; discard strained solids. Stir in 3-1/2 cups water, bouillon cubes and chocolate.
  • Mix masa dough and remaining 1/4 cup water until blended. Add to ingredients in saucepan; mix well. Bring to boil on medium heat, stirring frequently.
