Baked Chiles Relleno w/Tortilla Enchilada Sauce

This is a very loose interpretation of chiles relleno, but it has authentic ingredients and flavors. I had all of it lying around and threw it together. I wasn't planning to make it a tortilla enchilada sauce, but it was thinner than I wanted. I added the chips to thicken it and it ended up giving it a pretty toasty flavor.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 500°F.
- 2
Cut off the tops of the Anaheim peppers and slice lengthwise down the center to create an opening on one side. Line side-by-side in a baking dish. Blind bake them at 500°F for about 10-15 minutes to help start softening.
- 3
In a medium skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, onions, jalapeño, and salt. Cook for about 5 minutes or until onions and jalapeño start to soften. Add turkey sausage and break up. Cook 7-10 minutes, stirring often until meat is no longer pink.
- 4
In a blender, add dried guajillo peppers, water, garlic, and cucumber. Let steep for 20 minutes. Once steeped, pour out all but 1 1/2 cups of the water. Add remaining sauce ingredients and blend 1-2 minutes or until smooth.
- 5
Fill Anaheim peppers with sausage mixture until full.
- 6
Pass the sauce through a strainer to remove bits of unblended pepper and tortilla chips. Top filled peppers evenly with sauce.
- 7
Bake in a 500°F oven for 15 minutes. Top evenly with cheddar and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until cheese is melted and beginning to brown.

This sauce is far better than any canned variety and it will make enough for two large meals! Use this recipe to make red enchiladas, smothered burritos, soups, stews and more! Make certain that you don't wear your good clothes because the process can get a bit messy.I prefer to make my sauce the day before for several reasons. It is one less thing to prepare the day of and if you allow the sauce time in the refrigerator, it will get thicker. This sauce is not the typical "gringo" flour-based sauce, so allowing it time to get thicker really helps the sauce adhere well. If you do make the sauce ahead, you may notice that it appears gelatinous; mix well before using. Izandro -
