ingredients

11 -15 dried arbol chiles (8-10 dried arbol peppers for Mild, 11-15 medium, 16-20 for Hot)
1 (14 ounce) can DelMonte stewed tomatoes, with juice
¹⁄₂ small yellow onion
1 jalapeno
1 bunch cilantro
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon lemon juice or 1 teaspoon lime juice
¹⁄₂ teaspoon pepper
¹⁄₂ teaspoon salt

directions

Take the stems off the peppers and throw away the stems.
Place the peppers and seeds in the bender. Blend well.
Next toss in the stewed tomatoes with juice, 1 jalepeno (sliced), 1/2 yellow onion (quarterd), 1 garlic clove, handful of cilantro, lemon juice, salt and pepper and blend til you have the consistancy desired.
I dont like my salsa chunky, thats what Pico De Gallo is! I also dont want it to runny so it runs off your chips, so i just "pulse" it a few times.
If you feel the salsa looks to white from the onion this just means you need to add more cilantro to your salsa. Try the salsa with your chips and adjust the seasonings as needed.
Refridgerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

My salsa looks foamy. I used 8 roma tomoatoes, little bit of onion, cilantro, jalepeno, lime juice, salt and garlic. It doesn't look red. What did I do wrong?

Real salsa often has cumin and oregano so I added that and it was so good.

Great base for salsa. I substituted 8 New Mexico chilies roasted and rehydrated since it was easier to remove the seeds since I am unable to eat seeds nor nuts. I have been making double batches and adding 4 ounces of fresh lime juice. I only use 1 large pepper for 2 batches.
