For a smoother sauce, you can soak the almonds in hot water for 30 minutes before blending. Adjust the amount of chile peppers to your preferred level of spiciness. Remove the seeds and membranes for a milder flavor. Serve with warm tortillas, Mexican rice, and a dollop of sour cream or Mexican crema for a complete and satisfying meal. If you don't have guero chiles, you can substitute with other mild yellow chile peppers. Toasting the sesame seeds is crucial for bringing out their nutty flavor. Watch them carefully to prevent burning.
