red chili sauce
From the book Salsa Cooking by Marjie Lambert These must have made a big impression on my BF because he has been talking about the enchiladas made with this sauce, and that was a few years ago. I just simply could not find the dried New mexico chilis anywhere until just this week. This can also be added to meat or beans or used as a table sauce, over tacos, eggs. If you like less heat, the author suggests using dried California chilis
