Salsa de Árbol image

This easy chile-spiked cooked tomato salsa pairs well with the beet-topped tostadas but is a great sauce all on its own.

Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
3 dried chiles de árbol, seeds removed, chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 (14.5-oz.) can diced fire-roasted tomatoes
Kosher salt
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium. Add chiles and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until lightly toasted and very fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and 1 cup water, increase heat to medium-high, and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated and tomatoes are very tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Season tomato mixture with salt. Using a potato masher, smash until the consistency of a chunky salsa. Let cool, then stir in lime juice.
  • Do Ahead: Salsa (without lime juice) can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and chill. Add lime juice just before serving.
