This pork with Red Chili Sauce is my favorite filling for tamales, burritos, tacos and more. It’s made with a pork roast, spices, and a homemade red chili sauce. My fresh spice collection comes from my friends @ world spice merchants (worldspice.com)

For the Red Chili Sauce

Step 3

Remove the stems and seeds from the dried chiles while rinsing them under cold water. Place chiles in a saucepan with 2 cups of broth from the cooked pork. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 4

Transfer the chiles and broth to a blender. Add oregano, cumin, chili powder, onion powder, garlic and blend until smooth. Set aside.

Step 5

In the same saucepan you used to cook the chiles, add oil and cook over medium heat. Add flour and salt and stir for 1 minute.

Step 6

Strain the chili sauce from the blender and add it to the saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, then add the sauce to the shredded pork.
