Chili Colorado Recipe

Labor intensive but worth it. The one change, well 2 actually, I had to make were: 1) I only had 2 guajillo peppers so I used those and added 4 dried New Mexico Hatch Chili's. I also only had 5 Ancho Chili. Instead of toasting the Chili's on the stove top I did them in the oven. Watch them carefully so they don't burn. 350° for 4-5 minutes. Only added 1 jalapeno and for us the spice level was just about perfect. With age we found we can't do spicy like we used to, so this was perfect. Was slightly bitter but I think that might be because I let them go for 6 minutes in the oven and/or because the Ancho chili's were a little old. Will definitely make again, with all the correct chili's. 2/2025 Edit. Made this again with all the correct chili's and my husband didn't like it as well. Lol. I'll try it again with the chili's I used the first time. Hopefully he'll like that because I like it either way and would hate to not make this again. There's only 2 of us and this is a lot of work to go through just to make for myself.
