This red chile sauce is so versatile, so delicious, and so easy to make. This sauce is awesome because at its base, it can be used on so many different dishes, from enchiladas to tamales to menudo and so much more. All you got to do is start with this base, and then you can tweak it in any direction, probably as many different sauces as there are chilies, and that’s not even taking into account that every single house is going to do it a little bit different.
So whether you’re in Texas, New Mexico, Mexico, or along the frontera or anywhere in the USA, remember my advice, what Arnie takes always says, ain’t no right way, ain’t no wrong way to make chili sauce, and don’t let nobody tell you you can’t do it the way you like it.
Maybe what your grandma taught your mom, what my grandma taught my mom and my mom taught me may not be exactly the same, even if they’re similar, but of course, my grandma’s is better than yours. Just kidding! Don’t get mad!
Let me just cover real quickly the couple of the different chiles I have. Now, the package here says cascabel or guajillo. It doesn’t mean they’re the same thing because they’re not, but it means you might get one or the other in this package or possibly both. We also have some ancho chile, and we also have some pasilla chile. And I also have some chile de arbol down here. We use that one in our red chili sauce just to give it a little hint of heat and a little more complex flavor.
All right, so in the recipe we’re going to use 15 guajillo/cascabel chiles, a couple of ancho chiles, and probably about four or five of the chile de arbol, a whole onion, and six cloves of garlic. All right, friend, let’s get started and make this amazing red chili sauce.
