Ingredients

2 Medium tomatoes
1 ½ Jalapeño pepper (seeds and membranes removed)
3 Chile de árbol (seeds removed)
1 small garlic clove
¼ cup sliced white onion
3-4 cilantro sprigs
¼ tablespoon olive oil
kosher salt to taste (I use ½ teaspoon)
Pinch of oregano

Instructions

Pan-roast the chilies, garlic clove and tomatoes with olive oil (about 5 minutes)
Then set aside to cool down for a couple minutes.
In a food processor or blender add cilantro, onion, salt, oregano and the pan-roasted ingredients
Blend until smooth. Add ¼ cup of water if consistency is too thick.
Ready to serve

Notes

If you want your salsa extra spicy do not remove the seeds from the chili peppers. For a milder taste just remove some of the seeds from the peppers, so the heat is not too over-powering.
