1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp kosher salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp olive oil, divided

For the red chile sauce

4 dried guajillo chiles, stems and seeds removed
2 dried ancho chiles, stems and seeds removed
1 can (14.5 oz) fire-roasted diced tomatoes
Chef's tip
Regular diced tomatoes are not fire-roasted, so the dish will be less smoky.
2 cups chicken broth
1 medium white onion, roughly chopped
4 garlic cloves, smashed
1 tsp ground cumin
½ tsp dried oregano
Ingredient note
Herbs and spices can carry nickel, so a low nickel diet limits them, but the small amount of oregano used to season this recipe is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid oregano, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste

For the casserole

12 corn tortillas (6-inch)
2 cups shredded monterey jack cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

For serving

¼ cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped (optional)
¼ cup sour cream (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the dried guajillo and ancho chiles in a medium saucepan with the chicken broth, onion, garlic, cumin, and oregano. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, until the chiles are fully softened and the onion is tender.
2
Transfer the chile mixture to a blender along with the fire-roasted tomatoes and 1/2 tsp kosher salt. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 1 minute. Taste and adjust salt. The sauce should be pourable and coat a spoon lightly; if it seems very thick, stir in a splash of water. Set aside.
