Authentic Enchilada Sauce

guajillo chiles, (rinsed and stems removed)

ancho chiles, (rinsed and stems removed)

arbol chile, (rinsed and stems removed)

water

coarse kosher salt

garlic

tablet Abuelita Mexican chocolate, ((about 12 grams)*)

In a large bowl, add dried chiles and hot water. (If you're very sensitive to spicy food, you can also remove the seeds from the dried chiles, if desired.) Cover bowl with a large plate or plastic wrap and let the chiles soak on the counter for 20 minutes.

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the softened chiles into a large blender.

Add in 1 cup of the chile-soaked water, 1/2 cup of fresh water, garlic, salt and Mexican chocolate. Puree until completely smooth. Add more water if the sauce is too thick for your liking.

Cover and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use, up to two weeks. Use in red chicken enchiladas, easy red chilaquiles or chicken tamale casserole.
