Grandma Lupe'S Enchiladas

• Ancho- Guajillo/New Mexico Enchilada Sauce
• 12 dried ancho chiles (whole bag) stemmed, seeded, torn into pieces
• 7 dried guajillo chiles, whole bag (I used New Mexico) stemmed, seeded, torn into pieces
• 6 cups of water
• 5 garlic cloves, peeled
• 1/2 tsp dried mexican oregano
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 tsp. cumin
• 1 tsp. sugar
• Filling:
• 1 lb. hamburger
• 1 lb of sausage (suggest going with 1/2 lb, if so then do 1.5 lb of burger)
• 1/2 jalepeno
• 1 diced onion
• 3-4 garlic minced
• optional 1/2 tsp cumin
• salt/ pepper

1. Heat chile pieces in hot large skillet for about 1 minutes, till fragrant/ blister. Add 6 cups of hot water. Soak chiles until tender at a a simmer, be sure they are submerged for 15 minutes. Let cool for 15 more minutes. Drain chiles. Working in batches if necessary, carefully puree chiles, garlic and 2.5 C of clean water in blender until very smooth. Towards the end add the seasonings. Adjust seasonings as needed. Strain by pressing through sieve. Simmer sauce for 15 minutes or so add water or chicken broth as needed and check seasonings. Can make this a day ahead and refrigerate.
