Ingredients

6 Chiles Ancho or chiles

Directions

1
Prepare the ancho chiles by removing stems and seeds, then rehydrate them in hot water until soft.
2
Heat lard or shortening in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3
Fry the skinned and chopped chorizo until browned and crispy, then remove from the skillet.
4
In the same skillet, fry the skinned and chopped longaniza sausages until browned, then remove.
5
Add the boneless pork pieces to the skillet and fry until browned on all sides, then remove.
6
Fry the chicken pieces in the remaining fat until golden brown, then remove from the skillet.
7
Transfer all the fried meats (chorizo, longaniza, pork, and chicken) to a heavy flameproof casserole with a lid.
8
In an electric blender, combine the rehydrated chiles, chopped onion, chopped garlic, peeled and chopped tomato, sesame seeds, almonds, peanuts, pepitas, and oregano.
9
Blend the mixture until smooth, adding a little water if necessary to help it blend.
10
In the fat remaining in the skillet, cook the blended puree for 5 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent sticking.

12
Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper.

Note

Ensure all meats are well-browned before transferring to the casserole for the best flavor development.

Adjust the simmering time based on the size of the meat pieces; smaller pieces may cook faster.

For a richer flavor, you can toast the nuts and seeds lightly before blending.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

This dish tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together.
