This recipe can be made ahead of time and then reheated when needed. Extras can also be frozen if needed. I think this recipe may work in a crock pot as well. Use this to fill corn or rice tortillas. Or, one of my favorites, napa cabbage leaves! Add in brown rice, avocado, a squeeze of lime, and cherry tomato halves. Enjoy!
Taco Filling Ingredients:
1 Ancho chili, seeded*
1 cup boiling water
4 cloves garlic
½ teaspoon (add more for a kick) chipotle chili powder

few tablespoons extra virgin olive oil or grapeseed oilPreheat oven to 325 degrees.Place the ancho chili in a small bowl and pour the boiling water over it. Let soak for 5 to 10 minutes. Then place the chili and soaking water into a blender with the garlic, chipotle chili powder, cumin, and salt. Blend on high until pureed.Place the pureed chili mixture into a large casserole dish with the remaining ingredients. Cover and bake for 1 hour.
