Ancho Chile

An ancho chile spice mix serves double-duty in this dinner: it's the sweet and zesty rub for the tenderloin, and the seasoning for roasted squash and Brussels sprouts.

This recipe can be kerneled and served on top of a burger or eaten straight off the cob, dressed in cilantro and crumbled cotija cheese.

Ancho chilies are dried Poblano chilies, and have an earthy, sweet flavor and mild heat level. This classic tortilla soup is a creative way to use leftover turkey—substitute 1 1/2 cups finely chopped cooked turkey for the chicken.
