Chile Colorado con Carne Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Stem and seed the guajillo, anchos, and pasillo chiles.
  • Add the chiles to a pan of simmering water along with the dried chipotle chile.
  • Soak for 15 minutes until tender and reconstituted.
  • Add 1 T. oil to a large pot and saute the beef cubes browning the sides.
  • Turn the pot to low. They do not have to be cooked through.
  • Place the chiles in a blender along with rest of the ingredients.
  • Puree until very smooth. Add a little water if the chile colorado is too thick. It should be like a thick catsup.
  • Bring the pot with the beef back to high heat.
  • Add the chile mixture and “fry” the sauce for a couple of minutes.
  • Reduce the heat, cover the pot, and simmer low for 60 minutes until the meat is tender and the sauce is very thick.
  • You may need to add some water during the simmering time to keep the sauce from scorching.
  • Serve warm with corn or flour tortillas and refried beans on the side.
  • Scoop and shovel method of using tortillas:
  • Tear off 2 pieces of tortilla. Fold one in half like a scoop. Use the other piece to shovel some meat into the scoop. Pop it in your mouth. The shovel becomes the next scoop and a new piece becomes the next shovel.
