Making the Enchilada Sauce
We begin our recipe by preparing the sauce. In a small pot, combine the cleaned New Mexico wajo chili pods, chili ancho, chili de arbol, and a quarter of a small white onion. Cover the ingredients with water and place on medium-high heat. Once it reaches a boil, turn off the heat and transfer everything into a blender.
Add the two garlic cloves, half a teaspoon of black pepper, half a teaspoon of oregano, a quarter teaspoon of cumin, salt, and three cups of water into the blender with the chilies and onion. Blend the mixture until it becomes a smooth sauce.
