I mashed up some canned tomatoes and cooked them with broccoli, tofu, and ancho chiles. My idea, and I don’t know if it was a good one, was to make a stir fry flavored like a taco. I suppose I could have added sour cream and cilantro too. I’m still not good at distinguishing separate types of dried chiles by taste, and to me they all seem to produce a similar background heat when ground up and added to a sauce.
