Chile Colorado is a Mexican-style red chile sauce that gets its burgundy hue not just from tomatoes, but from lightly roasted and pureed dried chile peppers. The result is a flavorful, peppery, tangy and just slightly spicy sauce that can be used for enchiladas or turned into a stew. Traditionally such a stew might be made with braised pieces of pork or beef, and the chile colorado made with chicken stock. In this vegan version I’ve swapped in some waxy potatoes and seitan for a dish that’s just as hearty, minus the meat.
How else to use this vegan chile colorado recipe" Aside from turning it into a seitan stew, you could:

Swap in baked or pan-fried tofu for the seitan for a gluten-free version
Skip the potatoes and seitan; use the chile colorado sauce to smother vegan enchiladas or put it on or around vegan burritos
Use it as a sauce for cauliflower wings
Serve it on veggie burgers

Hope you enjoy!
