Meanwhile, toast the dried chiles until they're wonderfully fragrant. Simmer in beef stock for 10-15 minutes until the chiles soften and become pliable.

To make the chile paste, add the chiles and beef stock used to simmer the chiles to a blender with the chipotle peppers and adobo sauce. Blend the mixture until it turns smooth.
