Not ancho or pasilla, althought those would make a good sauce, they don't make the classic chili sauce one finds on tamales. If you grow them, any of those giant chili peppers like the old Big Jim and such. In most grocery stores they are called "Guajilla" peppers. If there's a tienda around, just ask for the chilis that are 'para tamales'.Ancho?
Pasilla?
Something else?
So you don't use the pepper at all? It just flavors the water?
Right, the dried pepper itself is not used, just the water you boil it in. 'Flavor' the water is misleading, though. The inside of the pepper disintegrates and all you remove from the water is basically the outside hull of the pepper, which isn't much edible anyway.
I have become addicted to avocados. I know they are loaded with fat,but I'm telling myself it is a good fat<g>
Don't underestimate that! It is whole, unadulterated vegetable fat. I very seriously doubt any active person ever got fat from eating avocados.
