Guajillo and ancho hot sauce

Sure!

1.2 oz dried guajillo peppers
0.6 oz dried ancho peppers
2 cloves garlic
1/3 cup white vinegar
1/2 tsp + 1/8 tap pickling salt
1 cup water (the chili water leftover from rehydrating the chilis)
1/2 tsp tamarind paste dissolved in 2 tbsp warm water
3 tsp dried cayenne pepper powder (for heat, since guajillo and anchos aren't that hot)

It tastes like an "elevated" enchilada-type sauce with a little sour punch from the tamarind to give it more of a hot sauce taste. I think this recipe can definitely be refined, but it has a really unique flavor I haven't found out there.
