Add ground chiles; stir well. Stir in 1 cup chicken broth.

Sprinkle masa harina over chile mixture; stir well. Bring to a boil. Cook for 1 minute or until slightly thick; remove from heat.
Place half of the chile mixture in a blender.
Remove the center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape); secure blender lid on blender.
Place a clean towel over opening in blender lid (to avoid splatters). Process until smooth.
Pour into a large bowl. Repeat procedure with the remaining chile mixture.
Recommended wine: Cava, Grenache, Shiraz
Chili can be paired with Cava, Grenache, and Shiraz. These juicy reds don't have too much tannin (important for spicy foods), but a sparkling wine like cava can tame the heat even better. The Casteller Cava Rosado with a 4.4 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.
