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
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet or pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Transfer the toasted chiles, charred vegetables, and any juices from the skillet to a blender or food processor.
Step 5
Add 1 cup of water, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice to the blender.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice as desired.
Step 8
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.
