Tips:
- To achieve the best flavor, use a variety of dried chilies, such as ancho, guajillo, and pasilla. These chilies can be found in most Latin American grocery stores.
- Toast the chilies in a pan until fragrant, but not burnt. This will help to release their flavor.
- Soak the chilies in hot water until softened. This will make them easier to blend.
- Use a high-powered blender to create a smooth sauce. A regular blender may not be able to handle the tough chilies.
- Season the sauce to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a bit of acidity, such as lime juice or vinegar.
- The sauce can be used immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to a week. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
