The Best Red Enchilada Sauce

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Arrange ancho chiles on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until toasted 3 to 4 minutes.

Remove and discard stems and seeds from toasted peppers. Place peppers in a bowl; add enough hot water to bowl until peppers completely covered. Soak for 1 hour.
