Roasted Guajillo Salsa image

After returning from Mexico, I played around with lots of dried chile salsa recipes until I created my favorite! It is very versatile, and can be used as salsa with tortilla chips, enchilada sauce, sauce for fajitas, or I even poured it over a roast beef and made deshebrada!

Time 30m

Yield 2 cups, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 -8 guajillo chilies
1 small onion
6 garlic cloves
1 small tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) can fire-roasted tomatoes
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  • On a cookie sheet, roughly chop your onion, tomatoes, and lay out face up. Peel the garlics and place on cookie sheet too. Roast in the oven for about 15 minutes.
  • While the veggies are roasted, take your guajillo chiles, and put them in a frying pan on medium heat, to soften. Cook on each side about 45 seconds - 1 minutes, or until they are soft. Do not let them get black and crunchy!
  • Pull your guajillo chiles out of the frying pan, and slice them up. If you don't like spicy, remove seeds. I leave the seeds because I like spicy!
  • In your blender, combine all ingredients (roasted veggies, chiles, canned tomatoes, and salt). Blend until all ingredients are ground up, and there is a smooth consistency.
  • Enjoy with your favorite tortilla chips, as a sauce for enchiladas, a sauce to acompany fajitas, or any sort of Mexican dish you would like!
