"Oh my gosh, this sauce took forever!! The other reviewer is right, it was so many chilis when you figure there are 6-10 chilis per 2oz. bag and you needed to have 1# total! And who at home has a blender big enough to fit all the ingredients, everything had to be done in batches. Cut the sauce recipe in half it makes a ton. I used a brisket instead of flank and it was really very good with the spice paste slow cooked in the sauce for about 7 hours. I found the sauce to be on the bitter side but once the enchiladas were made and all the other ingredients went in and on top it didn't seem as bitter.
