Recipe For Beef Enchiladas with Red Chile Sauce

  

Have you ever seen big bags of dried chiles in a grocery store and wondered what people did with them? I used to. Of course, I go up and down the grocery aisles like some people shop at Nordstom’s. If I have the time, I look at everything on every aisle, except maybe the toilet paper aisle.
