Need "New Mexico" chilis

[southwardbound2]

For making texmex chili. I used to buy it back home. It was just a generic Mexican chili powder. Sorry that's as detailed as I can get.

Yeah, that's what I meant; I know exactly what you mean. And I don't have any in my spices here. But I will keep a lookout for it.

You can make your own if you can find some dried ancho chilis.....grind them and add cumin, coriander, garlic, oregano, paprika, cayenne.

I've roasted peppers before and it's not that difficult. You cook them directly over the flame like marshmallows(with a gas stove) or on a grill. When the skin has charred, remove from the heat and let cool for about a minute before putting them into a plastic bag or in some aluminum foil. The bag keeps the steam in which will help loosen the skin. When the peppers have cooled some, you can scrape the charred skin off and you are left with the pealed peppers. I've even used a propane torch to do it.

To the OP, wouldn't you also want some tomatillos for that? Maybe you can find some green enchilada sauce? I've used that for pork/chicken.

I just saw La Sirena, La Vega has fresh Poblanos, Finger Hots and Habaneros. But quality was horrible. Price 60 pesos per pound.

OK, I am checking La Sirena in POP then. But the Thai and the other super hot ones are not for Mexican dishes.

Found chili powder in Cabarete at the new Dollar Tienda! It's only RD$59 and a large bottle. Probably not very strong, but you can just use more.
