Add dried chiles and roast them, stirring, until they begin to release their aroma, about 3 minutes. Transfer chiles to a bowl and pour water over. Leave to soften and rehydrate, 10 to 15 minutes. Add softened chiles to tomatoes. Taste chile water; if it is not bitter, add 1 cup to food processor and reserve remaining water separately, or use plain water. Wipe out skillet, heat olive oil over high heat, add onion and saute over medium heat until browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer onions to food processor along with chipotle pepper with its sauce, garlic, cumin, oregano and salt to taste. Puree to a fine paste, stopping once or twice to scrape down sides of workbowl with a rubber spatula. If needed, add a little more water to processor.

• Serve warm with tamales or grilled meats. Or cool and refrigerate for up to 1 week.

TOMASITA'S RED CHILE

Steps:

• Rinse the chile pods 5 times, then let soak in water in a bucket or large bowl for 5 hours or so.
• After the chiles have soaked for 5 hours, discard the water. Put the chile pods in a blender. Tamp the pods down into the blender, then add water to the top. Blend well into a paste.
• Put the paste in a large saucepan over medium heat.
• Make a roux. Put the oil in a saucepan, over medium heat, heat up slightly, add the flour and stir constantly. The flour should get toasted and brown, but do not burn it, about 5 minutes.
• Drizzle the roux into the red chili and mix to combine. This will make it thicker and change the color slightly, but it should not get white in color. The chili and liquid should just look darker and less bright than the red chili without any roux. Add enough roux and water to get the chili to the right consistency, which should be like gravy. You may not use all the roux.
• Add the garlic and salt. Leave the chili in the pot to simmer for 20 minutes, stirring regularly. Do NOT bring it to a boil, as that may burn the flour in the roux. Add more salt and garlic if needed and serve.

Add the chiles, garlic, 2 tablespoons of the chile soaking water, and the sour cream to a blender and blitz until smooth. Add more of the soaking water, if needed, for consistency. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a bowl or jar and store covered in the refrigerator.
