Remove the seeds and stems from the dried chiles. Rinse with water to remove any dust.
In a medium pot add the dried chiles and enough water to cover the chiles. Bring the water to a boil and cook the chiles for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and let rest to rehydrate the chiles for about 10 minutes. (reserve 1 cup of the water for blending).
In a blender, add the dehydrated chiles and the rest of the ingredients plus 1 cup of the cooked chile water.
Puree until smooth (it won’t be strained so make sure it’s blended well). About 2 to 3 minutes.
Use to marinade pork or chicken or store as directed in the notes section.
