Salsa macha

Moritas are one of my favorite chiles so I wanted to make a morita based salsa and I decided on a salsa macha. It’s one of my favorite salsas to make, especially because the moritas become so fragrant when frying them, it makes my apartment smell amazing. It’s a bit more labor intensive than making a regular salsa but it’s worth it.

I typically pulse it in the blender a few times but decided not to today. Enjoyed it with breakfast this morning.

6 morita chiles
6 chile de árbol
2 guajillos
Mix of peanuts, cashews, pepitas, and sunflower seeds, sesame seeds
Freeze dried garlic
1 cup EVOO
Mexican oregano
Apple cider vinegar
Salt
