Making the Red Sauce.
1) First prepare the peppers by removing the stems and cutting into small pieces, remove the seeds as per your personal tastes for heat. Heat these for about 30-40 seconds.
2) Combine the garlic cloves, onion, cilantro, mexican oregano, salt, and warmed peppers together in a food processor. Blend for about 2 minutes until it is a paste with the consistency of marinara sauce.

4) Seal the bag and kneed the meat thourghly to distribute the flavors of the spices and let sit for about 30 minutes.
