Zubereitung

1. 1

   Slice open the dried ancho and chipotle chili and remove the seeds/pith.

2. 2

   Place the dried chili peppers in a warm skillet (medium heat) and press them flat with a spatula to toast them for a few seconds per side until fragrant (be careful not to burn them!). Be sure to wear gloves or wash your hands directly after handling the chili peppers.

3. 3

   Remove the dried chili and put them in a bowl or sauce pan.

4. 4

   Pour 250 ml boiling water over it and leave it to soak for at least 15 minutes.

5. 5

   In a large pot, saute the chopped bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms over medium heat.

6. 6

   Meanwhile, fry the beef in a hot skillet until crispy.

7. 7

   While the beef is frying, blend the chili peppers you've been soaking with the soaking liquid.

8. 8

   Add the beef to the large pot filled with the sauteed vegetables.

9. 9

   Add the tomato sauce and blended chili peppers to the pot. If it is not enough liquid, add beef or vegetable broth (the other 250 ml water and 5 grams bouillon powder, unless you have "real" broth on hand) until everything is covered.

    Season with salt, pepper, cumin, and oregano to taste.
