Chile Colorado (Red Chile Sauce) 

If you don’t wish to go through the hassle and mess of using pods for a traditional sauce, use this recipe along with Bueno's puree for a taste of home.   Pour over traditional fare: enchiladas, tamales, burritos and posole or give your food a Southwestern flavor: pour over eggs, fish, pork or any type of meat.

• 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
• 2 Tbsp. unbleached flour
• 1 14 oz. container BUENO® Frozen Red Chile
• ¼ tsp. BUENO® Oregano, crushed.

 • 2 cups water
 • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced
• 1 tsp. salt
• ¼ tsp. sugar

2. Add red chile puree and remaining ingredients.
3. Bring to a slow boil.
4. Simmer uncovered over low heat for 30 minutes. Makes approximately 24 oz.
