Remove the stems from the chili pods and place the pods into 8 - 12 oz of hot water (165 - 200F) to rehydrate them. Allow to steep for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, put the hydrated chili pods into a blender along with ½ cup of leftover steeping liquid and blend until very smooth.
Combine the blended chili pod sauce with the remaining ingredients into a food processor or blender and blend until desired level of smoothness or chunkiness.
Serve with chips and enjoy!
