Pasilla Chili Sauce (Authentic Mexican Salsa) image

This sauce is used on the fried avocados that I have recipes for in my public cookbook. This sauce is commonly passed at the Oaxacan table to use with meats, for appetizers (antojitos) or with beans and soups. There were numerous recipes and some of the variations were to use a fruity vinegar. 1 whole head of garlic charred on grill. 1 stick cinnamon cooked with the peppers and oil. Coarse salt and crushed pepper to taste. Will keep in fridge for several days and freezing is not recommended.
