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.
