    * 15 Chile De Arbol (Majority of seeds removed)
    * 6 Tomatillos (13 oz)
    * 1 Roma Tomato (5 oz)
    * 5 Cloves Garlic, Peeled
    * 1/2 White Onion (~5 oz)
    * 3 Guajillo Chilies (Seeds removed)
    * 1.5 Tsp Salt
    * 2 Tsp Vinegar
    * 1/4 cup Water (in 1-2 Tbsp increments to desired consistency)

    *For Salt, Vinegar, and Water, add in increments to taste! I prefer a saltier and tangier salsa.

    1. Preheat oven to 425° F.
    2. Prepare a pan with oil/cooking spray, with or without foil to your preference.
    3. Cut tomato in half and place open side down on prepared pan. Cut peeled onion in half and into quarters and place on pan. Add tomatillos to pan.
    4. Coat ingredients with oil/cooking spray.
    5. Roast for 8 minutes, flip/toss, and roast for an additional 4 minutes.
    6. Add Garlic and roast for an additional 4 minutes.
    7. Broil for 5 minutes and remove from oven to cool for 10 to 20 minutes.
    8. Preheat a dry pan on medium heat. Add guajillo chilies and heat for approximately 1 minute per side until warm and fragrant, pressing with a spatula for more surface area on the pan. Do not burn as this can lead to a bitter taste. Remove from pan.
    9. Add Chilies De Arbol in a single layer for approximately 45 to 60 seconds per side, while pressing with a spatula occasionally for uniform toasting. Be sure chilies are fragrant. Do not burn.
    10. Add Tomatillos, Tomatoes, Chilies, and Onion to blender. Make sure to include the juices! Remove skin from garlic and add to blender. Blend until thoroughly combined.
    11. Add Water in 1 Tbsp Increments, Vinegar in 1/2 tsp increments, and salt in 1/2 tsp increments to desired taste.
