Recipe Tips
- Substitute
Prepare using bittersweet baking chocolate. - How to Toast Chiles
Heat skillet on medium heat. Remove seeds from chiles; flatten chiles. Add to skillet; cook 30 sec. or until toasted, turning occasionally. Toasting the chiles will make them shinier and darker in color. - Variation
If you don't have a Dutch oven or large deep skillet, you can use a stockpot instead.
