Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Dried Chile de Árbol peppers
- 3 pieces Roma tomatoes
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 0.25 whole White onion
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the dried Chile de Árbol peppers and toast them for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
In the same skillet, char the Roma tomatoes, garlic cloves, and white onion piece until lightly blackened and softened, about 5-7 minutes. Turn frequently to ensure even charring.
Transfer the toasted chiles, charred vegetables, and any juices from the skillet to a blender or food processor.
Add 1 cup of water, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice to the blender.
Blend the mixture until smooth. If the salsa is too thick, you can add more water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice as desired.
Serve immediately or let the salsa cool to room temperature before refrigerating. It can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week.
