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.
