  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. Oil
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp. Flour

Directions

  1. Here's the recipe I use. This is a Sonoran style dish and here in Tucson
  2. (just north of Sonora)*every* mexican restaurant you go to serves this dish. For variety I sometimes like to use different combinations of chiles.
  3. A favorite is a mix of ancho, New Mexican mild, NM warm, pasilla and chipotle.
  4. Prepare chile puree. Place chiles in large nonreactive bowl. Add in boiling water to cover and try to ensure which chiles stay submerged. Let stand 30-40 minutes to soften. Remove chiles to blender. Taste soaking water; if it's bitter throw away it and use plain water for the rest, else use a mix of soaking water and plain water. If you do not want to taste it, it's safer to toss it and use plain water. Add in 1 to 1 1/2 c water to chiles and blend till very smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour mix through strainer, pressing pulp with spoon or possibly rubber spatula to get all the puree out. Set aside.
  5. Heat 2 Tablespoons oil in heavy skillet. Add in meat and cook till browned. Add in 2 c water, cover and simmer 1 hour. Add in chile puree to meat and stir in. Mash salt and garlic together to make a paste. Saute/fry minced onion in 1 1/2 Tablespoons oil till tender. Fold in salt/garlic paste and 1 1/2 Tablespoons flour. Stir 1 minutes to get raw taste out of the flour and add in mix to simmering beef. Add in cumin, pepper and oregano. Cover and simmer 2 hrs.
