- This red chile sauce has been one of my most requested recipes and I'm sharing with you my version of our family recipe.

This red chile sauce is so versatile, so delicious, and so easy to make. This sauce is awesome because at its base, it can be used on so many different dishes, from enchiladas to tamales to menudo and so much more. All you got to do is start with this base, and then you can tweak it in any direction, probably as many different sauces as there are chilies, and that's not even taking into account that every single house is going to do it a little bit different.
So whether you're in Texas, New Mexico, Mexico, or along the frontera or anywhere in the USA, remember my advice, what Arnie takes always says, ain't no right way, ain't no wrong way to make chili sauce, and don't let nobody tell you you can't do it the way you like it.
Maybe what your grandma taught your mom, what my grandma taught my mom and my mom taught me may not be exactly the same, even if they're similar, but of course, my grandma's is better than yours. Just kidding! Don't get mad!
Let me just cover real quickly the couple of the different chiles I have. Now, the package here says cascabel or guajillo. It doesn't mean they're the same thing because they're not, but it means you might get one or the other in this package or possibly both. We also have some ancho chile, and we also have some pasilla chile. And I also have some chile de arbol down here. We use that one in our red chili sauce just to give it a little hint of heat and a little more complex flavor.
All right, so in the recipe we're going to use 15 guajillo/cascabel chiles, a couple of ancho chiles, and probably about four or five of the chile de arbol, a whole onion, and six cloves of garlic. All right, friend, let's get started and make this amazing red chili sauce. - บันเทิง
Your mother is adorable. I love how respectful you are of her.
That's the power of the chancla!
good men and good mothers exist in every culture. Arnie and his mom are what family is all about. They know how to cook, too.
she said, because you need to do it how I taught you... lol
?wzk?q
Came here to say the same thing. I had mixed culture cooking in my house growing up, one side of my father's family was Mexican and the other side Portuguese. Then on my mother's side was English and Irish.
I never had a Mexican grandma to teach me how to cook I was put into the foster system. I love Mexican food thank you for showing me how to make amazing dishes ❤ God bless
I learned a bit from friends mothers as I got older, but ditto. Foster care can rob kids of learning. That's why we can be thankful for families like these that share their experience!
I grew up in Cali you can't help but learn something about cooking Mexican food glad your learning
Same, I didn't grow up near my dad's family and my dad didn't know how to cook the food.
Vanessa Jesus Loves You a lot
Follow Him
You're going to be okay
Growing up in the Philadelphia area, we never had any Mexican food back in the old days. But now things changed all over America and we can get Mexican food in the northern states
Native Mexican dad, German Welsh mom. Never had Mexican food until I grew up! Eager to learn it all!!!!!!
I'm from Mississippi, Mulato Cajun Mom, Choctaw father, from Oaxaca, Mexico. You can only imagine all the diverse foods I grew up with. Wonders I do not weigh 700 pounds! 😁😉
Arnie and his mom are an unbeatable duo!
Your Mom is cool. I'm glad the two of you can have fun together...
There is no wrong way, there is no right way, but Arnie's way is pretty good! Great teamwork.
LOVE your mom! And the fact you did it her way, is proof you did it the RIGHT way.
I'm a home cook from Albuquerque, NM. I gotta say, this is 100% faithful to what I expect chile sauce to be. Glad to see the tradition going strong in TX, because there really is nothing like it. And I do put it on everything, even the Thanksgiving turkey!
I'm also from Albuquerque, now in fl. I've tried and tried, but no flavor. I always made it in Albuquerque, it was great. Don't know what I'm doing wrong😢
In Albuquerque, try Mary and Tito's. Their red sauce is a good example of how good it can be.
@@kristannchigro2074 order some red chili pods from New Mexico. Can't go wrong
@@kristannchigro2074 I found them on Amazon here locally but I live in Albuquerque so maybe it's different for you. Also don't skimp on the garlic
Hello from Juan Tabo😊
I'm just an at home chef that likes trying different cultural foods as well as learning how to make them. I've made enchiladas, pozole and menudo. I'm wanting to learn how to make birria next. Thank you and your mom for sharing how to make the sauce. 🤙🏽
You YT La Capital for birria. Outstanding
Straining is a good tip Arnie, whenever I've made red chilli with dehydrated chillis I've always ended up with tough bits in the sauce no matter how long I've soaked them. I'll strain it next time 😊
If you are straining you sauce, you need a vitamix blender.
@@paisteplayer1040 😂😂😂
@@keithatkinson7649 Glad to see you are easily amused.
@@paisteplayer1040 A 2 dollar strainer or a 800 dollar blender. Hmmmm. strainer!
@@josephsmith961 Dont act like a douche....You can get a $300 vitamix... That you can use for all kinds of stuff..
I payed $200 for my like new 750 pro.... and I also have a 6300 I got on marketplace for $150.. plenty of bargains out there..
Plus a vitamix should last probably many decades.
I’m from Colorful Colorado a native and have 5 generations here ! I just made your recipe and I used dried Guajillo, couple of Cascabel, couple negro Pasilla, and about 4 Arbol. I added a half of white onion, 5 garlic cloves and added some salt and bouillon to the blender !
Yum yum
Come down to New Mexico and try some real chile. 😃😃
@@BoyGeorgestrait bro wtf why u talkin trash im from CO too and we love NM too why u gottta divide us
@@jasonbower7763 I was joking man. Nothing but love
@@BoyGeorgestrait haha i was joking too man. Nothing but love back atcha!
Enjoy your time cooking with your Mom. That is one of the most cherished memories I have of mine.
i'm a dorky gringo who has been watching your videos and cooking some amazing mexican dishes thanks to you! i made the super spicy salsa you recently uploaded and it's great!
I LOVE that your mom is in the video with her approval/disapproval. XD You can tell this batch was made with extra love!
I grew up in an Italian neighborhood back east. I remember visiting California and trying some Mexican cooking. I've loved Mexican cuisine ever since.
I don't know when I'll have time to try this. But I do love watching you and your mom in the kitchen cooking together. This is so cool.
This is so loveable. Moms and grannies, and italian nonnas, in the kitchen.
There is not a single tradition that's good because it's a tradition. But there are so many traditions that are traditions because they're good.
Coming from far away, both in a geographical and culinary sense, it somehow speaks to one of my life regrets.
My best ever food memory is from childhood, going out fishing with my grandfather in the mornings, gutting the catch, carrying it to the house in buckets, handing it over to my grandmother for her to work her magic, and then eating with three or even four generations around the table.
Naturally, this has a lot to do with context. But sadly we also lost some of the finer details of the skills with that generation. Nobody else has the excact balance of water, salt, vinegar, temerature, and time anymore. We should have paid more attention.
Your laugh brings back memories of my 30 years living in Southern California and my step-father.
I'm here to say thank you. As an advance rookie cook, this was my first time making red Chilli sauce and it came out soo good! Thank you Tio Arnie! Your channel encourages people to try it and you teach it in a way that's easy to learn.
Today I used guajillo and ancho to make adobo for al pastor. I tried these two chiles for the first time. The color is similar to what you made. The taste with pineapple and spices inside was amazing!! I recently moved to south Texas from northeast US and knew nothing of texmex cuisine and culture before. Your videos have been very helpful in helping me acclimate and they are also lots of fun! I like the culture here a lot. Friendly people, family oriented, God oriented, fiestas, very good food, appreciation to nature and local communities.❤ Thanks for the positivity you emit to the world!
I was never taught how to cook all my favorite foods. I wasn't even taught Spanish D: I'm so glad I found these videos.
How this video doesn't have 1 billion views is beyond me. Keep the amazing recipes coming amigo 🎉
I love these recipes. I grew up in southern New Mexico and miss the food every day. Now that I am older I am learning to recreate those tastes from these. Thank you Arnie!
This sauce was wonderful. I'm an American living in France and I miss good Mexican food. So i have to make everything from scratch. I was just in the U.S. and brought back my chilies and fresh corn tortillas.. Glad I found your channel too.
I made this on Thursday, at first I thought it was too bitter. I made an enchilada casserole on Friday. After it sat for a day it became really thick so I diluted it with chicken stock. It came out so good!! It was spicy at first but mellowed out. Highly recommend making it!
Did you remove all the seeds? I think that's where the bitterness comes from.
My mother says it's the Ancho chile..that makes it bitter, i try using less of them and removing more seeds😊
Don't use the water that you boil it with just use regular tap water and the chiles and strain make sure you use garlic
I like how you relate with your mom. I miss my mom. Thanks for sharing your life.
Native New Mexican who grew up on red and green and has tried different recipes for red..... this is the best!!! So, simple yet so delicious. I agree with your mother that passing it through a strainer is an important step. Even with a vitamix there were still bits that didn't get blended. Really, really good!!
Perfect TIMING!!!!!
It would be awesome to have this in your backyard bbq class.
Love what you’ve done with the backyard bbq class!!!
Thank you
Everybody's grandma's is the best, thank God, love your recipes , PS love y'all, Mom too.
I love it! My mom says the same thing (about being married, but mom can still tell you what to do)! That brought a smile to my face! Via bien mi gente! Ajuua!
Absolutely Wonderful that you keep your Mom in the kitchen, the Love in your Family is incredible! Enjoy Life!
I absolutely love the videos where Arnie and his mom cook together!!
Arnie I love your mom she did a great job raising you.
Y’all are adorable. So much fun to watch mother and son in the kitchen.
09/10/2023 - I made this today for my enchiladas. The sauce is so very good. Just a hint of burn that is perfect. I did use chicken bouillon with the chili water. Perfection. The sauce looks like silk in my pot. Very beautiful. Thank you to you and your beautiful mama for such a lovely and delicious recipe. ❤
I’m gonna try it, I’m not Mexican but Mexican food is my favorite. It’s hard to find a real Mexican restaurant where I live. Thank you ❤
I lost my mama I was always in the kitchen with her. I'm making enchiladas today for my partners birthday and I was just looking up how different everyone did it from my mom. I teared up when she came in because she reminds me so much of my mama and commanding in the kitchen even if I'm the one cooking
What a beautiful thing to watch a family together 🫂 mi corazon 😭❣️
I am a gringo married to a mexicana, been living in Mx city going on 10 years. Love it here. Love this chili salsa, made it many times. Got some nice tips here. Definitely prefer strained. Muchas gracias!
Love, love your mama. She’s taught you well. ❤️
Omg, I just made this red sauce for the first time and it is so good. I put it on my burrito, my Spanish rice, (also Arnie’s recipe). I’m gonna be putting it on everything I cook. It is Bomb, thank you Arnie and your Momma. I just love the both of you. I’m glad I found your channel. Thank you Arnie and Momma for sharing your recipes. Great job and keep up the good work.
Much Love
How many Pasilla chilis did you add?
Arnie never said how many to put in!
@@jimmonroe8532it doesn’t seem he put those in there , but you can add 3 or 4
When I make my red sauce I use 6 California, 6 New Mexico, 3 Chile puya, 2 chile negro and 4 chiles de árbol
I boil them like he does and strain it
The great difference is I toast the garlic and half an onion on a comal ( metal plate used for grilling or heating up tortillas)
The spices etc is personal preference
Oh btw when making this for enchiladas put a little piece of a cinnamon stick when you put everything in the blender n omg so delicious
Hope this helps
@@jimmonroe8532 yeah I had the same question. Did you add any pasilla to your recipe?
Mom is a sweetheart. I moved to NM from Texas and lived there for 13 years and was hooked on the red and green sauce. To me it was hard to find some place where they made a good red sauce. I loved it on enchiladas, chili con carne... asado and huevos rancheros.
I am half Hispanic but I never got to meet that side of my family. I have missed out on these recipes, these are so special! Thank you for sharing.
Hello! I lived in San Antonio for many years and moved to Ohio in 2006. I haven't been able to find any good authentic tamales around here, sadly. I'm taking some time off from work next week and have decided to make tamales! I LOVE your channel and I'm super excited to make this sauce. Thank you for your videos!
Aww you two are really cute! Love watching not just for the great recipes but for the really nice banter between you and your mom!
I made this this morning. I hear by now state that I will never buy a can of red sauce again! Simply amazing! Wish Ma was here to help with the prep work, takes time but with time comes great results!
Awww, you and your mom are good people! You're truly blessed to cook with your mama!!!
I'm a Chicana from the Central Coast of Cali.....this is definitely close to our family "recipe".
Much love to you and your family ❤
Thanks so much for sharing your heritage with us. It wasn't until about 3years ago that I learned about dried chili's and making sauces with them. I've always strained them and the homemade sauces are always so much better than anything you can buy in the store.
Keep up the good work Arnie, your videos are always entertaining!
I love you and your mom my family is from Texas and I just feel the connection
And your mom talks texen just like my mom and aunts I can always recognize that Texan accent
God bless you folks! I’m of Italian Jewish French dissent , but I’ve had some wonderful Mexican friends , ok familia ! Angela , Abbe , Carrera , she was a mom to me ! Miss them much ! She my friends was a amazing cook , old world ! Yum !
Arnie, my mom was the Italian version of your mom. Beautiful, funny, and a great cook!!! I love your videos thanks brother keep ‘em coming.
It looks delicious. I have to try it. I love and enjoy your videos. I am a proud Mexican. Yes, our mom taught us how to cook different but we can always learn from you and others who share their recipes. Thanks for teaching us and sharing. Love seeing your mom there cooking with you.
Thank for your tip on this sauce my brother I tried and people here loves my tamales more than ever thank you again God bless you and your family and always remember to say, " I love you mom ", even though my mom just left me to be with the Lord I still tell her I love you mom, every day amen 🙏🙌
Love how this episode featured your jefita. Made me smile and made my day. Bendiciones.
I made a double batch of this with my kid last weekend. And she enjoyed watching this video while we removed stems and seeds.
Served as an alternative sauce to some cochinita pibil we also made. Double batch filled almost 3 large mason jars. Straining and reblending multiple times made it so smooth. Totally WORTH IT.
30 guajillos, 5-6 anchos, 5-6 de arbol
WORTH IT
Hey Arnie -- I made this last week for mixing into the fresh masa for tamales, mixing into the roast beef filling, and using as a sauce, and it was great. We all enjoyed tamales for Fathers Day, and you really helped make it even better with this recipe. Thanks, my friend!
This is definitely one of the best ones and I’ve been making it a long time. Thanks to your mom and you!
I love the way you two get along… My mama and I have so much fun together too!!
God bless our mamas, and all mamas. They gave us life… such a blessing. 🙏🏽💕🥹
Those little tweaks make it yours or there’s. We love to be the best for our families. Thank you for showing the base recipe. Buen provecho!
This stuff works on everything. I have added a little Mexican oregano to mine at times for a little savory touch. Add a little honey and brush on BBQ for the last few minutes 😋
Arnie: tonite before you hit the sack: give thanks to God for having such a wonderful mom. that's it.
This video reminded me of the times I would watch my great grandmother cook. I’m going to be making this for my Grandfather’s 80th gracias
Hope you enjoy
Nothing better than cooking and having fun with Mom. I can tell you are a great son. 😊
I love the authenticity and how genuine you come across on the video. I just subscribed, Awesome!
Thanks for subbing!
Great video. Mama is so cool. I make the sauce pretty much the way you do. A delicious sauce that goes into many recipes. Thank y'all for all the little tips.
Love to see your bond with your mother.
I was so glad to see you strain your sauce. That's the only way to make it really smooth and silky. Anybody put a couple of tomatoes in theirs?
My mom used only fresh chilies from New Mexico so it was only a seasonal thing. Thanks for showing us how to use dried chilies! I’m looking forward to making enchiladas soon!!
Hope you enjoy
YES.... I'm from New Mexico
You must use New Mexico Chiles ...
Thank YOU
@arnietex made it tonight for the first time and pretty much followed your recipe! It's so good! The whole family loves it. Going to make enchiladas tomorrow following your video from the other day. Thank you for sharing your family secrets!
Hi from Washington state! This is how my mom makes her tamale sauce. She’s from Edinburgh Tx and 92 years old!! Thank you and your mom!
You are so welcome!
Made this sauce and it’s top notch. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and cumin for enchilada sauce and it’s delicious.
This looks amazing! Can't wait to try it. Thank you so much for your videos
I had a bunch of dried chilies that I wanted to use up so I made this recipe, the straining is an essential step. I never did that before but it removes all the grainy bits and produces a much smoother and tastier sauce. Thanks for the tips and please tell your Mother thanks as well!
I use a cheap wire type with a crank on the side flour sifter to strain my chili sauce. it works well and is quick. I have used a similar recipe for years it taste way better than canned sauce.
That was Great! Thanks for sharing your Mom Arnie, she's an authentic treasure!
This looks amazing. Arnie I am like you tho I love the deep flavors of ancho and New Mexico chilies 🤤 and I keep telling myself I’m going to try it with mostly guajillo’s…I am going to make this recipe. Thank you for sharing. This is my first time commenting but I enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing ❤
I was taught to carefully broil (gently toast) the chile pods in the oven before removing stems n seeds… It just take a minute or so - u can’t walk away. Once u smell the chiles u take them out.
Great tip!
I'd give anything to have been able to cook with my mom, lost her at my age 7 and thats when dad took over and we had many times cooking together. Parents come once in our life time and I commend you sir you seem to be very loyal to your mom, memories are worth a life time! Thank you for posting your both recipe. Greetings and blessings are sent your way from Arkansas USA 🇺🇸 God bless.
I agree with Arnie and his mom on straining the chili. The final texture just ends up so much more enjoyable. I have a vintage cone strainer and pestle and it is a beauty for this. You can easily get a new cone strainer(chinois) with pestle and it does such a good job.
I love the fact your mom gets involved with your cooking.
1, You seriously need to get a Vitamix blender. That blender cuts so fine there’s no need to strain your Chile sauce. It leaves it creamy soft as you pour it out.
2, I always cook my onions, garlic and chiles for a few minutes to help bring out the flavors.
My grandma use to just put chili powder in water and cooked the tortillas in that lol I think it was the poor man’s version of enchiladas.
More like the easy way, nothing wrong with that either.
I will be making this. Thank you for sharing your recipe and technique. We love red chili sauce so much. Home made will be 1000 times better no doubt. Gracias
Yum! Made this just now, extra onion, spices, garlic, I put a bay leaf in for the simmer and removed for blending, and a few pinches of MSG..I’m literally sneaking spoonfuls of the sauce that’s leftover after I smothered my chicken enchiladas in it..Super Yum!
She keeps rubbing that Ancho pepper in, how it made the sauce darker. Lol😅
Adddddddorable mom and son ♥️♥️
God bless you. 🙏🙏🙏
Fantastic video! Made me a little emotional, I ain't going to lie. I honestly think some of the best bonding experiences in life are through cooking and you've obviously shared plenty of those experiences with your mother. My Baba (grandmother) is the main reason I love to cook. She suffered from dementia and passed away a few years ago. My one regret is not taking more time to be with her in the kitchen, but I truly treasure the time we did have. Again, amazing video!
My husband shared this recipe with me and I made it. It IS hands down, the BEST tasting, DELICIOUS and easy sauce EVER. First thing I did was to make some cheese enchiladas.
I forgot to add, that since this is such a versatile sauce (using it for many dishes), the thickness/consistency can be adjusted by adding chicken broth or the water from the pot and salt to taste. To lessen the heat, you would just not add as many chile de arbols. Arnie mentioned they were added to give heat. I also fried or cooked my sauce a bit with two teaspoons of olive oil.
Wow, God bless you and your precious mama Arnie Excellent work chefs.
I just love your mom 💗
mi Abuela taught me how to make red chile sauce from powder, a roux, the powder, garlic and onion powder , SnP, and water stir stir stir so you get no lumps and when it sticks to the spoon it's ready ! scrambled eggs with red chile and a tortilla. mmm Breakfast !! DINNER !!
I made this for Cinco De Mayo today and it was absolutely amazing. I sifted it like your mom said and I'm going to use the paste for another recipe. Very delicious.
This is exactly how my mom makes it and how she taught me. We primarily uses New Mexico chiles. I'll add a few chile de arbol as well. My dad is from El Paso and my mom is from Chihuahua, MX. Cheers Arnie 🤘🏽😎
My suegra is teaching me her recipes. I’m so thankful to be able to carry on the traditions! She taught me how to make red and green sauce for asado and enchiladas! I use NM hatch chiles since that’s were we are from. I also know how to make flour tortillas, now too!
I want the green&red sauce recipe...????
@@ronfinkbonner14 it’s a NM style and may not be super traditional. But we basically take jalapeños and some serranos (to your preferred spice level) and wash + remove the caps. We do not remove the seeds. We boil them whole for about 10-15 minutes or until they’re fork tender. We put the peppers in a blender with a splash of the water from the pot. Blend it up. We then use cream of chicken soup and add the greed sauce to it. We heat it up and mix it. We use this green sauce in green chile enchiladas and for smothered burritos!
@@ronfinkbonner14 he makes his red sauce almost exactly the way I was taught. His is a good recipe!
Your mom is a blessing. love seeing the love between you both. from Cali
Oh my gosh, I can not wait to make this! I unfortunately will have to make it mild because I prepare my moms meals every month and she at 84 she can not handle anything with a bite nor can my husband but I may make a second batch for me. I will be canning this. Thank you so much for sharing! 😊
OMG!! U GUYS R SOOO CUTE!! I was looking for recipes because im so tired of store bought foods. I love to cook from scratch for my family. Thank you❤
My heart fills with love just watching this. I love you Mommy.
Your Mom is adorable! I love how you both work together so well.
I make it almost the same way. I pour it over a beef roast and put it on a slow cooker with oregano and bay leaves. Easy and delicious!
MamaArnie is a gem 💎 kind of mom you treasure all her days! Truly enjoy your interactions funny moments and always listen to Mama!
