Ingredients
- 15 guajillo chilis stems and seeds removed*
- 2 cups water more as needed
- 5 cloves garlic unpeeled
- ¼ small white onion
- 2 tablespoons to ¼ cup white distilled vinegar to taste
- 1-2 teaspoons kosher salt to taste
Notes
- *Feel free to substitute your favorite dried chili, or a combination of a few different ones. Choose dried chilis that are slightly pliable and not brittle, an indicator of their freshness. Removing the seeds will result in a less spicy, smoother sauce. Leave the seeds in for added heat and texture.
- **For longer storage, seal in an airtight container and freeze for up to 6 months.
