Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Roma tomatoes, cut in half (about 6 tomatoes)
  • 1 small onion, cut into wedges
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 5 small red hot dried chiles (I used chile de árbol)
  • 2 medium dried chiles (I used pasilla chile)
  • 2 teaspoons coarse Kosher salt
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons pepitas
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar
  • Serve with:
  • Fresh cilantro leaves
  • Pepitas
  • Tortilla chips

Instructions

  1. Set oven to broil. Place tomatoes, onion and garlic on baking sheet. Lightly brush with olive oil. Broil 5 to 6 inches from heat 10 minutes. Remove garlic and set aside; turn tomatoes and onions. Broil tomatoes and onions an additional 5 to 10 minutes or until lightly charred.
  2. Remove and discard stems and seeds from the dried chiles. Add chiles, tomatoes, onion, garlic, salt and water to a 2-quart saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, stirring frequently, 10 to 15 minutes or until reduced and slightly thickened. Remove from heat, stir in pepitas and vinegar.
  3. Carefully spoon mixture into a blender or food processor. Cover; pulse until desired consistency. Serve warm or slightly chilled topped with cilantro, pepitas and tortilla chips, as desired.
