Steps:
- 1. In a heavy bottomed skillet over medium heat, heat the lard until it is shimmering but not yet smoking. Sauté the onion until it has softened and become translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and stir until it is nice and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the flour. Stir gently but constantly until the roux reaches a medium brown ("peanut butter") color, about 2 minutes. Add the chile powder or chiles, garlic, chicken broth, oregano, salt and cumin (if using). Simmer, stirring constantly until the sauce has thickened. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon. Add a little water if needed for proper consistency. Blend or process if desired for a smoother texture.
- 2. Slather the hot (temperature-wise) sauce over or under your New Mexican or southwestern dishes. Kept in an air tight container, this should stay fresh for at least a week in the refrigerator.
SPRING HILL RANCH'S ENFRIJOLADAS
Most everyone has heard of enchiladas, which are rolled or folded stuffed tortillas in a chile sauce. If you base that sauce with tomatoes instead of chiles, you have entomatadas. And, if you base the sauce with beans, you have enfrijoladas! Here's a wonderful enfrijolada sauce that not only works great on enfrijoladas, but is...

Steps:
- 1. Adjust an oven rack to the center position and preheat the oven to 350°. lightly grease a 9"x13"x2" baking dish.
- 2. For the enfrijolada sauce: In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, heat the lard. Add the onion, tomatoes, green chile, serrano and garlic. Sauté until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. With your thumb, rub the oregano in the palm of your hands and sprinkle the powder over the mixture. Stir in the salt and pepper. Add the beans and about 1 cup of the broth to the pan and simmer it for 10 minutes. Cool the mixture for about 5 minutes.
- 3. In batches in a blender or with an immersion blender, puree the mixture until it is nearly smooth. Add additional broth if needed, as this is to be a sauce, not frijoles refritos. Return the pureed mixture to the pan and gently reheat it over medium-low heat, stirring frequently. Remembering that this should be the consistency of a normal enchilada sauce, adjust the thickness by either adding more broth or reducing the sauce if needed.
- 4. For the enfrijoladas: Place a few tablespoons of the sauce in your prepared baking dish, spreading it around very thinly. Using tongs, pass the tortillas 1-by-1 through the hot enfrijolada sauce for just a second or two per side. (Too much time and the tortillas will fall apart; too little time and they will crack when folded. Find a happy medium) Setting each of them in your prepared baking dish, fill each with a little of the meat (if using) and a sprinkle of the grated cheese. Roll or fold the filled tortillas in half and arrange them. Top with an additional 1 to 1 1/2 cups of the enfrijolada sauce, just enough to cover the tortillas but allow the edges of the folded tortillas to show. Bake them for about 10 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
- 5. To serve, drizzle a 2-inch wide strip of crema down the center of the dish. Sprinkle with the mexican fresh cheese and a few of your red onion rings. If desired, garnish with a sprig of cilantro, sliced avocado and chopped green onions if desired. For a wonderful, hearty breakfast, slide a couple fried eggs on top.

TRADITIONAL NEW MEXICO RED CHILE CHEESE "STACKED" ENCHILADAS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Each serving will contain 3 corn tortillas. Take the tortilla and dip it in hot oil or dip it in the red chile sauce and put on plate. Top this with cheese and onion and more sauce and put another dipped tortilla on top and repeat this 2 times. Heat in the oven or under the broiler until cheese melts and top with a fried egg. Garnish the plate with the lettuce and tomato. You can serve this with fried potatoes or pinto beans.
- To make a casserole, you can layer the above in a baking dish with the final layer on top being cheese, do not put eggs on the casserole. Bake for about 20 minutes, until all is warm and melted. Garnish with lettuce and tomato. Can also serve with sour cream, chopped olives and guacamole.
- Remove the stems and seeds of the chile pods. Soak the pods in water or simmer on stove for about 10 minutes. Place chile and garlic in a blender with 1/4 cup water and puree until smooth. (Use 6 to 8 pods of chile and 2 cloves of garlic at a time, which will make the puree smoother and easier to work with.) Add more water as needed to get a medium consistency. In a sauce pan, add pureed chile with Mexican Oregano and salt to taste. Bring to a slow boil, and then simmer for 20 minutes. Pork can be browned and added to sauce while simmering.
