Steps:

• Add 2 tablespoons of the oil to a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, bell peppers, garlic and tomatoes. Saute until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Season with the cumin, salt and pepper. Let cook until starting to form a sauce-like consistency, 3 to 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce and reduce the heat to low. Add the prime rib and cook until heated through.
• In a separate pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, slowly dip each tortilla into the oil for a few seconds until pliable. Spoon 1/4 cup of the prime rib mixture into each tortilla and roll into an enchilada. Reserve on large platter and repeat with the remaining tortillas until there are 8 enchiladas. Spoon the remaining enchilada sauce over half of the rolled tortillas. Spoon the chile verde sauce over the remaining half of the rolled tortillas. Garnish the platter with the sour cream, scallions and cilantro.

ENCHILADA SAUCE - ESTILO GUANAJUATO SALSA ROJO ( RED SAUCE GUAN

Steps:

• Remove stem of ancho chilis and tear open to expose seeds and create an open and flat chili. Discard seeds.
• Place chili one at a time SKIN side down on a SCREAMING HOT skillet or grill pan. The chili should pop and crackle a little as you press it flat and hold it against the scorching hot surface with a metal spatula while you count one cerveza two cerveza three cerveza! Remove from pan and repeat until all chilis are seared. (NOT the pequin tho!).
• Now place the seared Ancho chilis in 1 cup VERY HOT water and weigh them down with something so they stay submersed. I use a potato masher bc it stands by itself and is easy to remove.
• Soak chilis for about 15-20 minutes. Drain and discard soaking water.
• Meanwhile, chop, dice and measure remaining ingredients.
• In a blender combine drained chilis, chili pequin, tomatoes, garlic, 1 onion- reserve the other to add later, cilantro, sugar, lime juice and broth or juice. Pulse until smooth. (I use what I have on hand. Try to match the broth to whatever dish you are preparing or use V8 or tomato juice.).
• Heat oil in the skillet used previously or a heavy pot. Add celery, onion, and green pepper and saute until they begin to soften. (I like to keep the pieces rather large, about 1 inch in size.).
• Remove from heat and pour all ingredients from blender into hot pan. IT WILL splatter and pop! Be careful! Return to burner and whisk over high heat until the mixture comes to a boil.
• Reduce heat immediately and continue whisking periodically for about 10 minutes or until sauce is thick.
• Use immediately or transfer to a glass jar with tight fitting lid, cool and store in refrigerator until ready to use.
• Note: I have hot packed this into a sterilized glass canning jar. It never lasts long in my house so I do not know how long it keeps.
