Ingredients you'll need:
1. Tomatoes
The key ingredient in any Mexican red sauce is tomatoes. Be sure to use ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor. You can use either fresh or canned tomatoes, depending on your preference and availability. For a deeper and richer flavor, you can also roast the tomatoes before using them in the sauce.
2. Dried chilies
Dried chilies are responsible for the signature spicy kick in Mexican red sauce. Ancho, guajillo, or New Mexico chilies are commonly used in this recipe. You can find these chilies in most grocery stores, or you can order them online. The amount of chilies you use will depend on how spicy you want your sauce to be. If you prefer a milder sauce, you can remove the seeds and veins from the chilies before using them.
3. Garlic and onions
Garlic and onions are the base flavors in most Mexican dishes, and they add a depth of flavor to the red sauce. You can use fresh or powdered garlic and onions, depending on your preference. Sauteing them before adding them to the sauce will enhance their flavor.
4. Spices
To add more depth and complexity to the sauce, you can use a variety of spices such as cumin, oregano, and paprika. These spices will complement the flavors of the tomatoes and chilies and give your sauce a well-rounded taste.
5. Chicken or vegetable broth
To thin out the sauce and add more depth of flavor, you can use chicken or vegetable broth. You can also use water if you don't have broth on hand.
How to make the sauce:
1. Prepare the tomatoes by roasting them in the oven or boiling them in water until they are soft and the skin starts to peel off.
2. In a pan, toast the dried chilies until fragrant, then remove the stems and seeds.
3. In the same pan, sauté the garlic and onions until they are soft and translucent.
4. Add the tomatoes and chilies to the pan and cook for a few minutes.
5. Add the spices and broth/water and let the sauce simmer for 10-15 minutes.
6. Once the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded together, remove it from the heat and let it cool.
7. Use a blender or food processor to puree the sauce until it reaches your desired consistency.
8. Serve the sauce with your favorite Mexican dishes or store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
