Carrots and Potatoes in Ancho Chile Sauce
Zanahorias y Papas en Salsa de Chile AnchoHere's a versatile and classic combination of cooked cubed carrots and potatoes mixed with mild red chile sauce that's baked in the oven until the flavors mingle and the vegetables start to brown. Serve as a side dish with just about anything, or try with a poached or fried egg sitting in a nest of the vegetables for brunch. The vegetables are also wonderful rolled inside a tortilla with tomatoes and shredded lettuce for a vegetarian taco or burrito.
