Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 12 dried chile de arbol (more or less depending on heat tolerance. 12 makes it medium hot)
  • 1/2 white onion (peeled and quartered)
  • 2 large garlic cloves, chopped
  • 2 jalapeno peppers (seeded and roughly chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
  • 1 can (14 ounce) whole tomatoes
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, finely minced
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Split dried chiles open and remove seeds from half the chiles. Place in a blender cup and pulse until roughly chopped.

  • Step 2: Add the remaining ingredients EXCEPT the cilantro. Pulse several times until roughly chopped and the consistency is to your liking. (I don't like it processed into a puree - I'd rather see rough consistency so that it doesn't get watery).

  • Step 3: Taste and adjust salt and pepper if necessary.

  • Step 4: If the salsa is not hot enough, pour the salsa into a bowl, leaving a bit in the blender. Add another jalapeno and/or more dried chiles. Pulse until smooth, then add to the original salsa, stirring to combine thoroughly.

  • Step 5: Add the finely minced cilantro and mix until thoroughly combined. Refrigerate.

  • Serving size depends on you. Makes about 2 1/2 cups salsa
