The result is deep red and beautifully balanced — smoky and fruity from the chiles, warmly earthy from the cumin and oregano, and gently rounded by a light roux — mellow rather than sharply hot. It works right away as the base for beef chile colorado stews, or as a filling and seasoning for enchiladas and tamales.</p>
