Time 1h25m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 dried ancho chiles
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
¼ cup corn oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
3 cups beef broth

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Arrange the ancho chiles on a baking sheet and toast in the preheated oven 3 to 4 minutes; remove the stems, pulp, and seeds from the toasted peppers. Place peppers in a bowl and pour enough hot water into bowl to cover completely; allow to soak for 1 hour.
  • Combine the ancho chiles, tomato paste, corn oil, garlic, salt, oregano, cumin, and about 1 cup of the beef broth in a blender; blend until smooth. Pour the mixture into a saucepan with the remaining beef broth and place over medium heat; simmer until heated through, about 10 minutes.
