Chile Molido
This is the red chili 'paste' which is pretty hot - found at most Mexican Restaurants. The usage for this is very widespread; you can use it to dip chips in, or add it to other dishes that call for chile. Great on tamales too!

1/4 Cup Olive Oil
2 T White Vinegar

Preparation:
If the chiles are dried, soak them in water or even better, simmer them in water to soften them up.
