What is ancho sauce?

Ancho sauce is a spicy sauce made from ancho chili peppers, which are dried poblano peppers. It is traditionally used in Mexican cuisine and is well known for its unique flavor that is both sweet and smoky with a mild heat level. The sauce is made by soaking the dried ancho peppers in hot water, then blending them with a combination of spices such as garlic, cumin, oregano, and vinegar. Ancho sauce is a versatile condiment and can be used as a dip, marinade, or sauce for tacos, enchiladas, and other Mexican dishes. It is also commonly used as a substitute for barbeque sauce, due to its smoky flavor and thickness. Ancho sauce is typically a deep reddish-brown color and has a thick, chunky texture. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a month and can be easily made at home with a few ingredients.
