Instructions
# 1 Creamy Red Salsa
- Sauté the chiles de arbol in oil over medium-low heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Turn continuously, don’t let them burn. Remove from the pan and set aside until needed.
- On the same pan and oil sauté the onion and garlic until the onions have slightly softened. Stir in the tomatoes and let them cook until completely softened.
- Turn off the heat and transfer the ingredients into the blender including, the chiles de arbol. Add salt and process.
- When everything has broken down and looks smooth, add the 1/4 cup of oil slowly and in a thin stream while the blender is still working. This will make the salsa super creamy and smooth once done. Transfer into a serving bowl and enjoy!
#2 Roasted Salsa
- Place a comal over low heat. Toast the guajillos and chiles de arbol until fragrant while turning continuously. Remove from the heat, rinse and drain. Set aside until needed.
- Turn the heat to medium high. On the same comal roast the tomatillos, tomato, onion, garlic cloves until charred on all sides, softened and completely cooked through.
- Once roasted transfer everything into a blender; as well as, the dried peppers, oregano, and salt. Blend until everything is broken down but you still have pieces of skin left behind.
- Transfer into a serving dish and ENJOY!
#3 Creamy Green Salsa
- Place a pan over medium heat, add the oil and let it reach a safe pan frying temperature.
- Pan- fry the jalapeños, serrano, calabacita, tomatillos, onion and garlic until completely soft and cooked through. Don’t let them brown too much, lower the heat if needed.
- When done, turn off the heat and let everything cool down slightly. Transfer the ingredients and oil into a blender. Also add in the cilantro and salt. Process until super creamy and smooth. Transfer into a serving dish and ENJOY!
