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!
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
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! 😁😉
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.
White girl from Minnesota! I lived in Tucson 7 yrs & learn to cook many Mex dishes. Just using the guajillo chilis will make it a beautiful red color!!! That will take my chili colorado sauce up a notch! Thanks Arnie!!!
Thanks Arnie! Although I grew up in LA, my mom and dad were born and raised in El Paso, TX. Fortunately, my mom taught me an assortment of family recipes (going way back my family fled from Mexico during the Revolution), but I have a lot of gaps in my knowledge. Your videos are helping me fill in those gaps, and allow me teach my kids how to make the delicious food of their ancestors. I'm very grateful.
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😢
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!
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 😊
@@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 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. 🤙🏽
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 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!
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!!
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!
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
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!
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!
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'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.
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!
Finally I see someone make real red chile sauce, just like my mom and grandma used to make !!!! I only take off the stem , when cooked I strain, just like my sweet viejitas used to make !!!! Thank you 😊
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 !!
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!
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
@@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
Made your refried beans. Oh my goodness. Never buying canned again. So making Frito chili pie and chopping up peppers now for you and mamas sauce. Thank you and Father bless in these crazy times. I'm Cherokee, so we will fight who made tamales. My family did do pork occasionally but deer elk buffalo. Going to try yours. They would cook everything on wood fire outside with cast iron and after the last corn picking, husks
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!
I have lived in New Mexico for (too many years LOL)... and have even had my own little cafe, and have never Tried to make this sauce... I have always been scared to try... NOW... I will do this with confidence... Thank You BOTH so very much God Bless Happy New Year
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.
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 !
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
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. ❤
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!
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 😋
Love your videos esp when you’re dancing or with your mom. My mom went to heaven in 2016. It’s good to see Terry at times. Watching your channel puts me in touch with my Mexican culture. My mom always used chicken broth instead of water in the blender.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
@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!
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. 🙏🏽💕🥹
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!!
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 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.
Arnie, look into a small press vs straining. I'm a winemaker and ferment peppers; its so much less time with great results. Then I dehydrate the pulp and make it into powder. You will love it. I can post a link to a small press.
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.
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.
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
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.

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

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!
I love your mother. You're both great, but she's this pure mom mix of warmth, comfort, and hot ticket that gets me every time I see her.
LOVE your mom! And the fact you did it her way, is proof you did it the RIGHT way.
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.

Enjoy your time cooking with your Mom. That is one of the most cherished memories I have of mine.
Me too, my nom was an angel.
There is no wrong way, there is no right way, but Arnie's way is pretty good! Great teamwork.
THANK YOU ARNIE AND MOMS FOR SHARING for those of us that unfortunately did not get taught the ways of the kitchen.
MUCH APPRECIATED ❤🙏🏻

I lived in Tucson 7 yrs & learn to cook many Mex dishes.

If you are straining you sauce, you need a vitamix blender.

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.
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!
Awww, you and your mom are good people! You're truly blessed to cook with your mama!!!
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.
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 love the authenticity and how genuine you come across on the video. I just subscribed, Awesome!
Thanks for subbing!
MamaArnie is a gem 💎 kind of mom you treasure all her days! Truly enjoy your interactions funny moments and always listen to Mama!
This looks amazing! Can't wait to try it. Thank you so much for your videos
I have Ancho powder that I mix with butter to put on rib eye and T-bone steaks.
@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!
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. 🙏🏽💕🥹
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
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!
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!
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.
Arnie, look into a small press vs straining. I'm a winemaker and ferment peppers; its so much less time with great results. Then I dehydrate the pulp and make it into powder. You will love it. I can post a link to a small press.
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 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?
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'm honestly glad I found ur channel and I'm happy I did, u and ur mom are adorable
🌻 Wow! Momma's right!! & if your smart you'll never argue with a Latin momma. It's yes ma'am 😂❤️❤️❤️
Your mom is a blessing. love seeing the love between you both. from Cali
Arnie: tonite before you hit the sack: give thanks to God for having such a wonderful mom. that's it.
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.
I'll trust anything this man says. That mustache don't lie.
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
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 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.
