Recipes using ancho chilies
There are 59 recipes that contain this ingredient.
Spicy Steamed Mussels
The recipe blends equal amounts of gueuze and Chardonnay to make these mussels fragrant, and adds Cajun spices for heat. We suggest a farmhouse ale in the Flemish tradition to pair with the mussels.
Savory Tortilla Soup
This soup came out so tasty and flavorful. The pan-fried tortilla strips added some nice crunch, and I also served the soup with some sour cream, Monterey Jack cheese, cilantro and scallions. It was an easy, light yet tasty soup.
Sopa de Tortilla (Vegetarian Tortilla Soup)
There are many variations of classic Mexican tortilla soup. In this vegetarian version (feel free to substitute chicken for the tofu for a non-veg version) the rich broth is flavored with earthy ancho (New Mexican) chillies and made more filling by adding some kale that retains it's texture well in a hot soup.
Authentic Homemade Chili Powder
Store bought chili powder lacks authentic flavor. We like to make our own homemade chili powder which adds a tremendous boost to Chili, Tex-Mex or Mexican recipes.
Ancho & Cocoa Carne Asada
Rub the steak with a mixture of ancho powder, cocoa, and cinnamon, cook it in a hot skillet, and serve the succulent steak with a refreshing coleslaw and some warm tortillas.
