Ingredients
15–20 dried chile de árbol peppers (adjust to your spice preference)
2 Roma tomatoes
2 garlic cloves
1/4 medium onion
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon white vinegar (optional, for added tanginess)
Instructions
1. Toast the Chiles
Heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the dried chile de árbol peppers and toast for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Remove when they become fragrant and slightly darker. Set aside.
