Instructions

Preheat a large frying pan with 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat. Add the tomatoes and onions and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the árbol peppers and the smashed garlic to the pan, sautéing for another 2 minutes.
Take the pan off the heat and carefully add the onions, tomatoes, peppers, and garlic into a blender.
Blend all of the salsa ingredients on high speed. While the salsa is still blending, open the small twist top in the middle of the blender top and add the rest of the olive oil. Continue blending until the salsa is smooth and thick.
Taste, and add lime juice and kosher salt as needed. Serve as a condiment to your favorite tacos.

Notes

To Store: Transfer the taquera sauce to an airtight glass container (we don't want any staining, amiright?) and store it in the fridge for up to 7 days.
To Freeze: Place the salsa in a freezer safe container or freezer-safe zip top or vacuum-sealed bags and store it in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Thaw it in the fridge, stir it well, and serve at room temperature.
