Red Chile Beef Enchiladas

[ladrones]

In process. I'm gonna post the steps as completed.
Heat oven to 350 degrees

First rinse 24 New Mexico red chile pods. Remove all seeds and stems.
I place rinsed pods in a cookie sheet.


Prep this list of ingredients.
1t oregano
1t granular garlic powder
1t cumin
4 cloves garlic minced
1T blue corn meal

Bring 1 quart of water to boil

Throw sheet of chile pods in oven for a few minutes to give them a nice roast.


Pull the chiles from oven and place into a stock pot.

Pour boiling water over chile pods.

Continue to boil until tender.

Strain water from pods. (Keep water).

Place chile pods in the blendtec or whatever you have. Pulse for a bit. Add water to the consistency you like.
Strain trough coffee filter.
Add above ingredients and bring to bubble.
Sauce is complete.


Cube a couple pounds of meat of your choice. I'm using chuck roast.

Dice a yellow onion.
4 cloves garlic minced
3T of manteca
1t of salt
2T blue corn meal

Heat manteca in Dutch oven. Sauté onions and garlic add meat and brown

Once meat is brown add the blue corn meal. Then pour your red chile gravy over meat and bring meat and sauce to a simmer. Let simmer for about 30-45 minutes at a reduced heat. Meat should be nice and tender when done.

I was raised on these enchiladas. Can't always get my hands on the big jim pods so I have to settle for the powder. But aint nothing in the world like thses New Mexico enchiladas with a fried egg on top. Don't get any on your forehead cause your tongue will beat you to death tryin to get at it. Great post ladrones!

I've made red chile a couple of times since moving here, and I HATE straining it. Took me forever. Maybe I just didn't let it run long enough in the food processor.

The blendtec does a good job. Powder is faster and much easier.

Thanks. I keep red chile gravy for everything. Powder is almost as good especially if you can get NM grown powders.

New Mexico Chile is the only powder I use. I typically blend a hot and mild together.

It's optional. Not everyone likes fried eggs.
