Note

Storage: Allow the sauce to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight jar. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Substitutions: If you cannot find pasilla chilies, you can substitute with an additional ancho chili or use guajillo chilies for a brighter flavor. Vegetable oil can be replaced with olive oil or avocado oil.

Tip: For a smoother texture, you can strain the puree through a fine-mesh sieve after blending to remove any remaining seeds or tough skins.

Safety: When handling dried chilies, it is advisable to wear gloves to avoid transferring capsaicin to your eyes or skin.
