CREAMY CHIPOTLE ENCHILADA SAUCE

Steps:

• Place the red chiles (stems removed), ancho chile (stem removed), tomatoes, garlic and water in a small sauce pan. Bring to a boil. Continue boiling for 15 minutes until the red chiles are soft.
• Place the tomato and chile mixture in the blender with the chipotle chile, the reserved adobo sauce and 1 cup of the cooking liquid.
• Blend the mixture on high for 5 minutes.
• Strain the mixture and pour it back into your sauce pan (make sure you empty the sauce pan if any cooking liquid is left over and reserve it for later if needed).
• Bring the sauce to a low boil and continue to simmer for 10 minutes. If you like your sauce thin you can now add an additional 1/2 cup of water or cooking liquid.
• Whisk in the chicken bouillon powder and continue to simmer the sauce another 10 minutes.
• Turn the heat down to low and whisk in your sour cream. It is critical at this stage to keep the sauce on low so that the sour cream does not curdle. Cook the sauce on low for an additional 2 minutes just to heat it back up.
• Add salt and pepper to taste and Enjoy!
