Chef's Notes
Do not skip toasting the anchos. That brief flirtation with high heat unlocks deep, smoky flavor profiles that raw chiles simply cannot achieve.
Pro Tip
When soaking your chiles, weigh them down with a small saucer so they stay fully submerged and soften evenly.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Dropping unsoaked, rock-hard chiles straight into the blender because you were impatient, resulting in a chunky, fibrous red sludge that ruins taco night.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I told the King this sauce was made from ground rubies; he tried to eat his crown and broke a tooth.
The Culinary Science
Capsaicin in chiles is fat-soluble, which is why blending them with corn oil creates such a cohesive, rich emulsion.
