CHILE COLORADO CON CARNE: Delicious Recipe Made from New Mexico Red Chile Pods
ฝัง

- Chile Colorado Con Carne (Red Chile with Meat) can be made with any kind of meat. In this video, I make it with beef. What makes this recipe so delicious is the chile sauce made from New Mexico Red Chile Pods. Read on for the recipe.
2 lbs. beef or pork, cut into small cubes.
salt to season meat
approx. 2 Tbsp. flour (optional)
approx. 10 New Mexico red chile pods
3 garlic cloves
1 Tbsp. Mexican oregano
1 Tbsp. cumin (optional)
salt to taste (approx. 1 tsp.)
2 bay leaves
Remove stems and seeds from chile pods. Place chile pods in seive with bowl or pan underneath to hold water. Pour boiling water over chile pods and let them soak 15 minutes, allowing them to rehydrate or become soft. Remove chile pods from water, but reserve water for later. Place softened chile pods in blender or food processor. Add garlic cloves, oregano, cumin, and salt. Then take 3 cups of the reserved chile water and pour it into the blender. Pureé until you no longer see flecks of chile circling around the blender and you're left with a smooth red sauce.
In separate bowl, season meat with salt and sprinkle with enough flour to coat the outsides. Mix to combine.
Heat a large saucepan or skillet with enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan. Once heated over medium high heat, add in cut pieces of meat being careful not to overcrowd the pan. You may need to do this in increments in order to allow meat to brown on all sides. Once meat is cooked, pour in red chile sauce and let it come to a boil. Then lower heat, cover, and let simmer additional 30-40 minutes until the meat becomes tender.

My dad was a chef. He had his own restaurant and I would watch him cook. He always added cumin and oregano to his meat. He made great tamales and sold them in town. I was born in Arizona.
Yum, cumin. I can always tell when a dish has no cumin in it because of the bland 1 dimensional taste. Cumin adds so much more depth to a dish. Its rich smokey flavor reminds me of my Tejano father (may he rest in peace). Dad used to make the best Tex-Mex food, our soul food. Whenever we exclaimed how good the food was, Dad would say, “Everything Daddy makes is good!” I miss you Pop.
I add one ancho and 1 tsp of sugar to bring out the fruity notes of the ancho.
Made this today and, as usual, your recipe was easy to follow and the end result was absolutely delicious. My wife and I are 80ish, so our taste buds have been on vacation for a few years and I add MSG to everything. Other than that, I followed your directions exactly. Even ordered mild red chilis from Amazon. Thank you for being you and for your recipes.
Oh yes ma'am, like you, I love the use of Cumin in Mexican dishes. This chile colorado has me wishing my momma was here. Saludos, you are a great cook.
Thanks for watching and leaving such the nice comment.
I love everything you cook. I'm back in colorado after living Las cruces n.m. for a time. I certainly miss all the great food! My favorite are chili rellenos..yum yum yummy
I'm happy you found my channel and that it can bring a little taste of NM to you in beautiful Colorado.
Always put Cumin in my chili, can't imagine it without it. Looks delicious!
Same !! ❤
Now, here's someone with good taste! Thanks so much for watching & commenting.
New Mexicans eat chile, not chili. Chile is an ingredient, chili is a dish.
I could absolutely eat this every day. There was a place two blocks from my house that made the best I ever had. They also used tomatillos in the sauce. Went down one day and they were closed. Apparently the DEA and FBI showed up and arrested everybody. Guess those wonderful peppers were not the only thing they were shipping from New Mexico
Oh my goodness! The FBI was in HOT pursuit!!! Your comment made me laugh, even though I know I shouldn't. I'm sure you were so bummed that you could no longer have their food. Thanks for watching & commenting.
Cumin is used regularly in my Mexican household
I have to confess, I have resorted to using red chile powder to make my red sauce. I found the pods to be so inconsistent on flavor and heat. Often times the pods were extremely bitter. I have never tried it with cumin, interesting concept. So glad I found your channel.
There is no difference. In fact a lot of New Mexicans like myself have settled on just buying red chili from hatch in powder form. Easier to store, easier to make but same great flavor
Trying my best to be polite about it, your food is almost as beautiful as you are. I love your videos, thank you!
I have always had chili con carn with red kidney beans and rice on the side. Cubed beef etc sounds find, but I like a dish that is easy to eat and doesn't stick in my teeth. I have all my natural teeth at 42 years old. Also I prefer the beans and chilli as it is easy to eat. I have Dysphagia or difficulty swallowing. I can eat cubed meat etc but it feels like it is sticking in my throat and I have to swallow 2 or 3 times. I love your videos though. Don't worry about the people telling you you are not authentic or doing it wrong. They need to realise that food is custom to preference and you should make it how you like it. God Bless you Marcy!
My grandma born in New Mexico in 1900 made this usually with beef like you did. You have helped me replicate some of her dishes. Thanks so much!
Oh wow! My paternal grandmother was born in New Mexico in 1900, as well. Her birth certificate said Mexico because, at the time, it wasn't part of the U.S. I often tell people, my family never immigrated from Mexico. The border just changed around them. I'm so happy my recipes have helped you cook dishes the way she did. Thank you for watching and commenting.
This recipe is one many of you have requested. I alway love getting requests, though I may not be able to make them right away. Feel free to pass on yours in the comments, or share one of your recipes for me to try.
Thank you for offering us the opportunity.
Rachael, I love everything that you prepare. Bar none. I have not seen one thing that I don’t love thank you.
This is great the simpler the Recipe the Better is Tastes
I would not think of making Chili without CUMIN ❤
Se mira delicioso, me encanta ver tus videos,
Dios te bendiga, Saludos desde Albuquerque!!
Agradezco las amables palabras y que veas mis videos.
I love cumin! Marcy- Shi looks forward to all your videos, and loves to try them. We totally are the winners there! You are her idol!
Awe. Shi is so sweet. One of these days we have to get together and cook something. I appreciate you watching so loyally.
Thanks Marcy, made my mouth water!!! Wish I could find a restaurant here in Sacramento that cooks like that! Will make it at home. God bless 🙏
The Mexican food is definitely different in Sacramento, and I found I had to cook myself if I was craving certain dishes. My favorite Mexican restaurant when I lived there was Novilleros. Is it still open?
@@marcyinspired1442 still open, but the quality of food went down 😓. Used to take My mother in law. Went there 3years ago, nvr went back. Still searching though. Thanks for responding Marcy!!! 🙋
Cumin is amazing and it is always in my Chile sauce. I cook with it regularly we love it. My grandma always cooked with it. ❤❤
Yum!!
Thanks for watching!
I love Cumin🙂
I so love Chile Colorado.. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to trying this out.
Me, too. I could eat it every day and never get tired of it. Thanks for watching!
Looks delicious! I absolutely love your recipes

Hi Marcy just subscribed luv your personality so friendly and soft spoken and sweet from tu amiga now Barbara 😊
Thank you so much! What a sweet comment. 🤗 Welcome to my channel.
Enjoyed your video! Looking forward to making this recipe! Greetings from FL..
Hello to you in Florida! Thanks so much for watching.
Yay! Thank you!!
You're so welcome. Thank you for watching!
Hi Marcy, you've recently came across my feed 🤷♀️, and I'm really digging your channel. You gotta great vibe and the recipes seem easy enough and the wonderful memories that will circle around these dishes are going to be worth it. Thank you for all you do. There's no place like home. Many Blessings 💕🌷
I'm so happy my channel popped up on your feed. I just started sharing my recipes in 2020 when Covid kept us all at home and it's been so much fun. I never realized the foods I make, especially the down-home ones, would strike a chord with so many people. Thanks so much for watching!
My goodness! I miss New Mexico so much. I’m currently living in Florida. There are NO NM chili 🌶️ here. Thank you for sharing. I’m really homesick now…
Glad my videos bring a little taste of New Mexico to you in Florida.
Love it 🥰 ❤
I’m from New Mexico. How were not coughing during the blending?! 🤣 every time my mom blends chile we all leave the kitchen! Blended red chile freezes really well too. You did a great job of explaining how to blend the chile and I’m gonna twist our tradition and try the cumin. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That's funny you should mention that. This batch was pretty mild so there was no coughing, but I've done my share of chile-enduced coughing before! Lol I appreciate you watching and your willingness to try something different. Hope you like it.
Great to eat new things, never tasted cumin as far as I,know
Love yr cooking
Looks wonderful! That is a must try! Thank you!
It's a good one to have in your arsenal, because as I mentioned in the video, this same red chile sauce can be used for enchiladas, tamales, and countless other Mexican dishes. Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment.
Awesome you finally made my favorite dish
I'm sorry for the wait. I've made red chile many times, but just never chile colorado con carne. It's a favorite of mine, too.
Making mexican Christmas 🤶 drink is a must :)
Love watching your videos
Thank you. I appreciate the nice feedback.
😊
I really like this recipe of yours. Thank you.
Thanks so much! I appreciate the comment.
Love to make this ❤
Thanks for watching, even though you make this yourself. I appreciate what a loyal viewer you are and I always look forward to your comments.
Looks so delicious ❤ Thanks for sharing
Thank YOU for watching!
I enjoy your channel and trying different versions of our already NM favorites. Wondering if you ever use red chile powder instead of pods? There are some great NM dry powders. If so, it would be interesting how much powder to # of pods. My family uses the red chile powder most of the time. One difference we have is we cook our meat and add the flour once browned. It soaks up the grease really well.
Mmmmm I sm starving now thanks ❤
Ha! Sorry about that! Thanks for watching!
Hi Marcy we can't all love the same food. Don't listen to it. I love your food and to each their own !Have a Wonderful Thanksgiving ! love and blessings from Stanley NM xx Just talking about the cumin lol
You're so sweet. Thanks for the encouragement. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving, too.
Looks Yummy, going to save the video and make it soon, Thank you Marcy
Happy to hear that. Thanks for watching!
Woo👍
Thanks for watching!
Hi Marcy, I find your cooking shows to be very good. You have excellent communication skills the explanation that you use while you’re cooking is well understood by all and I compliment you for your expertise in this area merry Christmas John.
I get that alot on my recipes on the subject of cumin. Every chef I know in albuquerque uses cumin as do I. Chili is not the same with out it. So one day i asked spice world what are the top spices sold in new mexico? #1 cumin #2 coriander #3 garlic powder #4 onion powder. PS marcy that dish looks very good .
That's awesome! I'm so glad you shared that. People can be very critical, instead of realizing we all have our own way of doing things and we can all learn from one another. Thanks for the comment.
Cumin is essential in my Mexican sauces.
That's how I feel about it! Thanks for the comment.
@@marcyinspired1442 , you're welcome birthday buddy
Yea sure love cumin deliscous
Dam it marcy your killing us ! you are a great cook. Will try your recipes.
Haha! Sorry about that! But I'm so happy you're watching. Thanks for the comment.
Great recipe--can't wait to try it! What particular cut of beef do you prefer to use for this dish?
Thanks so much for watching. I like using beef chuck, just cut small so it gets tender in less time.
I agree with the cumin. I love the taste of it. My go to seasonings for Mexican dishes are salt/pepper garlic and cumin also depending on what I’m making oregano. I have a question, what size Dutch oven do you use? Love your authentic dishes. Saludos from El Paso.
I love cumin in chile Colorado.
Glad to see I'm not the only one. Thanks for watching!
Can I ask if the hatch green chillie is hot or spicy?, I can’t eat any of that, love your channel, I’m from Melbourne Australia
Looks delicious I'm wondering can u save the chili seeds & plant them 2 grow ur own?
You can absolutely plant the seeds to grow your own, but the chile will only be as good as the soil.
@@marcyinspired1442 Thank u
I am going through Hatch in a couple of weeks, what vendor do you recommend to purchase dried chili?
You really can't go wrong with any of them, but I recommend Grajeda Hatch Chile Market. They have a great selection of dried chile pods as well as all kinds of spices. Their red chile powder is my favorite. Make sure to eat at Sparky's while there, and order their green chile cheeseburger.
never herd of dried chili. Hatch is known for there CHILE'S smh lol
I like to use scissors to remove stems and seeds, very easy.
With Nopales too..
I'm gonna have to try that. I've only ever had nopales with green chile. Thanks for the comment.
What did they do before there were food processors?
Marcy, have you saved the seeds and tried planting them? I wonder if they would grow……
They absolutely will grow, though I haven't planted them myself. When I was growing up, my neighbor would make chile and throw the seeds out her back door. Next thing you know, she had an unplanned chile plant growing right at the step to her back door! Lol But, it depends on the soil where you live.
They will grow ❤
What kind of beef meat did you use ?
Beef chuck.
Where can I find or cookbook
5 stars for cumin!!!
What is the difference between ground oregano and Mexican oregano?
Other than than the name Mexican Red Chili pods what is the actual name of the chili pods,there are alot of red chili's out could you narrow it down ?
The technical name for any red chile grown in New Mexico is "Capsicum Annuum," but you'll be hard pressed to find that on any packaging. You will only find the location of where it was grown, and whether it's hot, medium, or mild. It will either say "Anaheim," if it was grown in California, or it will say "New Mexico." While they look very similar, the NM chile is more earthy and flavorful, and also tends to be a bit hotter. In addition to that, different areas of New Mexico like to boast that their red chile is best. For example, you may find red chile labeled as being from "Hatch, NM" or from "Lemitar, NM." So long as it says New Mexico, you can't go wrong. It has to do with the soil. Another way to know is, in New Mexico, chile is always spelled with an "e." I hope this helps. I'm sorry I couldn't narrow it down any further for you.
I cook mine in pan with boiling water
My wife also says she doesn’t like cumin. I add it to every recipe I make and she can’t stop talking about how delicious it is. Pretty funny.
That tastes good with potoes
What cut of meat?
I usually thicken my chili up after it's made with oil and flour making a roux...
comino es obligatorio!
I do not like cumin. I will put just a pinch😅😮❤❤❤❤❤Thanks🥰
I make mine outside on my disco, you are so beautiful
So no onions needed right ??
I never put onions in red chile sauce because I don't want it to overpower the chile flavor. I'm sure there are those who do add it, but I only add garlic. You can always add onions to your dish later. Like when I make enchiladas, I'll add chopped onion in the enchiladas, but it's not in the sauce.
@@marcyinspired1442
Thanks for the advice 👍🏼
Sorry Carne Adovada is not fixed that way
Im from N.M. you have to mix the pork with oregano and chile ,put it in the fridge for a couple of days to marinade. Then cook it the way you want, but it has to marinade!
The only reason I don't use cumin, I am allergic
I juat stared watching your videos. Started with the picadillo video. You must be from NM? You make the food like i am used to. Have moved to texas and there is NO NM stryle food to be found
I love Chile Colorado. I cooked it myself for the first time following your recipe. Mine tastes really bland. Any idea what may have done wrong?
I have no idea. You're the first person to ever say that. Did you use all the same ingredients and add enough salt?
;-)
Love your recipes and your presentations. Good job telling off people on the cumin issue. If you don’t like it, don’t use it. Simple enough?
use scissors for chiles.
Thanks for watching!
That’s done right, no onions wtf
How can these people think they can make Mexican food without cumin. That’s nuts. Leave it out & it changes the flavor. But they’re the ones eating it.
cumin was more common in the tourist restaurants, no hate just 56 years of loving NM food
Cumin is great as long as you're ok with a little armpit smell in your food.
??? Why would people not want you to use cumin? Chili doesn't taste as good without it.
Cumin is not a spice I care for.
This is tex mex tbh. The seasonings are wrong and two you paid for the algorithms
