3 easy Mexican sauces to accompany chicken, fish, or meat

Sometimes that steak, fish fillet, chicken breast, taco, or even vegetable you plan to eat just needs a little sauce to give it a completely different flavor and make a new dish.

Adding a simple sauce is a delicious and easy way to liven up a meal, no matter what's on the plate, and if you love Mexican flavors, then these sauces with morita chili, pasilla chili, and beans are what you were looking for to accompany your food.

Bean Sauce
This sauce is very practical because we usually have cooked beans on hand, or if not, we can buy canned beans without any problem. Plus, it takes the prize for being the simplest because to make this sauce, you just need to blend the beans with their broth.

If you want to give it a little more flavor, add epazote or avocado leaf, or sauté them before blending with a bit of onion; you can also blend them with cream to give them texture and consistency.

Here are some ideas for your bean sauce: 

Pasilla Chili Sauce
How about some homemade meatballs, but instead of the classic tomato sauce, with a little pasilla chili sauce? Besides giving a twist to your meatballs, a pasilla chili sauce can also accompany some vegetable patties or plantain patties or some pork ribs.

To prepare it, you need to cook the vegetables with a little oil, usually including onion, garlic, tomatoes, pasilla chiles without seeds, and to season, use cumin, clove, allspice, and salt to taste. Once they're soft, blend them with chicken broth and cook the sauce again to thicken it.

Morita Chili Sauce
This sauce can cover everything from a sliced steak, to a fish or even some meatballs as well. This sauce is prepared very similarly to the pasilla chili sauce, as you also need to fry the tomatoes, a little garlic, and the chiles before blending them with chicken broth.
