AUTHENTIC ENCHILADA SAUCE
Great sauce and very authentic enchiladas. If you want a hotter sauce, just add some cayenne pepper when it's done. Ancho and pasilla chile peppers are dried chiles, and may be available at your grocery store, or a Mexican market.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Place chile peppers on a cookie sheet and roast in the oven until slightly toasted. (Note: When you can smell them, they're done.)
- Remove from the oven and slit them open. Remove the seeds and veins, then put them in a bowl with boiling water to cover. Allow them to sit for 30 minutes, then remove them from the water, reserving the water. Scrape the pulp from the insides of the chile peppers and discard the skins. (Note: The skins will give the mixture a bitter flavor.) Return the pulp to the water and set aside for later.
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, saute the garlic and onion in the butter or margarine for 5 minutes, or until onion is tender. Add the flour and mix well. Add the stock, stirring until thickened, and then add the reserved chile pulp mixture. Finally, add the oregano and the cumin.
- In a blender or food processor, puree the mixture until smooth. Season with salt to taste.

CHICKEN ENCHILADAS WITH ANCHO CHILE CREAM SAUCE
This is my "signature" dish. Always get raves on them. They are a bit time consuming, especially if you decide to make your own Pico de Gallo and Guacamole, but well worth it. I sip on a margarita to make the experience most authentic! * I find that I barely have enough cream sauce, you might consider doubling it for ease. * Here is a recommendation for the order of prepping things... *Start chiles soaking (30 minutes) *Cook chicken (I just boil chicken thighs in chicken stock...they need to cool before you can shred the meat) *Drink Margarita *Butter 13x9x2 baking dish *Preheat oven to 350°F *Slice and sauté mushrooms *Drink Margarita *Make sauce *Make filling *Assemble *Cook and eat (and drink Margarita)!

Steps:
- Dry roast the ancho peppers on a hot pan about 1-2 minutes per side. The peppers will puff slightly and the skins will begin to turn red.
- Set them into a large pot of boiling water and remove from heat. Let them soak covered in water for 30 minutes.
- Remove the stems and coarsely chop the anchos. Reserve the soaking liquid.
- Set the chopped anchos into a food processor.
- Heat the oil in a pan to medium heat and add the onion. Cook about 5 minutes to soften.
- Add the garlic and tomato and cook another minute or so, until you can smell the garlic. Add them to the food processor.
- Add the vinegar, cumin, oregano and a bit of salt and pepper along with about 1 cup of the soaking liquid. Process until it smooths out.
- The sauce will be thick at this point. You can add more soaking liquid to achieve your desired consistency.
- Give it a taste. You can adjust with salt and pepper and this point, and if you feel it needs a touch of sweetness, add the honey and process a bit more.
- Press the sauce through a coarse strainer into a bowl. I use a wooden spoon to push it through.
- Store in the fridge in an airtight container.
- As a tasty variation, add up to 15 ounces (1 can) of tomato sauce while cooking, or after you strain the ancho chili sauce to simmer. It makes for an outstanding final sauce. Or, swirl in anywhere from 1 tablespoon to a cup of the ancho chili sauce to tomato sauce to liven up any dish.

Steps:
- 1. Wipe the chiles with a damp paper towel. Cut the chiles open and remove the stems and seeds. Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and toast the chiles, turning, until they are aromatic, about 10 seconds. Do not burn, or chiles will be bitter. Put the chiles in a bowl, add hot water to cover, and soak about 20 minutes. Drain, discarding the water. 2. Put the chiles, tomatoes, onion, garlic, oregano, cumin, marjoram, and broth in a blender. Blend, in batches if necessary, to a smooth purée. The sauce should have the consistency of heavy cream. If too thick, add about 1 tablespoon water at a time, to reach the desired consistency. 3. In a saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chile purée. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer the sauce, stirring frequently to blend the flavors, about 15 minutes. Stir in the cream and heat through completely, 3 to 4 minutes. The sauce is ready to use, or store in a covered container, refrigerated up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.

Once warm enough to handle, remove meat from broth and shredd using hands to break up meat. Reserve the broth for Ancho Chile Sauce and other uses. NOTE: no need to wash pan yet.

Heat oil to depth of 1/2-inch in a medium skillet and soften the tortillas 1 at a time by passing through hot oil, holding edge with tongs until limp, about 3 seconds. Drain on paper towels. Stack and cover to keep soft and warm. NOTE: I made fresh tortillas so I did not fry mine as they were still soft.
- Ladle a thin film of the Ancho Chile Sauce in pan. Place 4 tortillas side by side in pan, do not overlap. Top each with 3 tablespoons of the meat mixture. Top each with another tortilla and meat mixuter. Repeat for a third layer. Top each with cheese, olives and green onions. Cover each with the Ancho Chile Sauce.

If dough is crumbly, moisten hands and continue to knead. If it's sticky, add 1 tablespoon of the masa flour at time until desired consistency (a smooth moist dough).
- Cover bowl with plastic and allow dough to rest 20 minutes before using. NOTE: You can refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
