Steps:
- Remove stems and seeds from dried chiles, and break chiles into smaller pieces.
- Place chiles in a blender cup with garlic, and cover with boiling water. Let stand for 30 minutes to an hour.
- In the mean time in a heavy sauce pan use the lard and flour to make a roux, and let cook for a couple of minutes to remove any raw taste.
- When the chiles have rehydrated, blend on "liquify' until smooth.
- Add to sauce pan with oregano,cumin,and salt. Simmer for 15 minutes.
- If you can make this a few hours, or a day, ahead it is even better.
