Daisy’s Homemade Hot Salsa

Remove the stems from the dried chiles de arbol. Place roma tomatoes and chiles de arbol in a large pot of boiling water. Leave them in just long enough so that the skins break on the tomatoes. Remove tomatoes from water and place in a strainer in the sink and run cold water over them to prevent them from continuing to cook. Remove the skins and place in the blender with the cold water, the onion, chiles, garlic, and plenty of salt. Blend until you don’t see any big chunks of the chiles. Pour sauce into a bowl and let cool if tomatoes are still hot.

Chop cilantro and dice avocados and add to the salsa. Slightly stir. Serve on top of anything. We love it on taquitos, tostadas, jicama, enchiladas, or with a bag of chips. Any way you eat this salsa, it’s delicious!

Note: Chile de arbol (a dried red pepper) can be found in any Mexican spice section. They are small, long, and red.
