Ingredients
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 oz dried chiles de arbol (about 36-40 chiles)
- 28 oz diced tomatoes or 3 cups fresh
- 2 large tomatillos husk removed
- 1/4 cup white vinegar
- 3 garlic cloves or 1 tbsp minced
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/8 tsp Mexican oregano
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium high heat and quickly toast the chiles for 10-15 seconds. They will brighten in color. Quickly remove from the oil so they don't burn and transfer them to a food processor or blender.
- Add the tomatoes, tomatillos, vinegar, garlic, salt, oregano and a 1/4 cup of water to the blender. Process until smooth. Season with salt as needed.
- Pour mixture into saucepan and bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. If the consistency is too thin for your liking, continue simmering until it reduces and reaches your desired consistency.
- Allow salsa to cool before using. Serve either warm or chilled.
