Ingredients
-
10-12 whole dried ancho chiles (may combine with pasilla or California green Chilies)

1 clove garlic, minced or pressed
1/4 C Salad Oil
1 1/2 tsp Salt

Directions
1. Place chiles on a baking sheet. Toast lightly in the oven for 3-4 minutes only or until they give off a mild aroma.

3. Place chiles in a blender with enough of the water to blend; whirl until smooth, then put through a wire strainer. Add remaining water, tomato sauce, garlic, oil, salt, oregano, and cumin. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, to blend flavors.
