I'm making Al Pastor tacos today using this recipe
After making the marinade she mentions that you could use the leftover stuff that doesn't go through the strainer to make a salsa (e.g. small chunks of guajillo, arbol, onion, garlic).
Does anyone have any recipes that would make use of this for salsa? I'd love to make use of it since it is such a concentration of good flavor.

I would blend it with some boiled or roasted tomatoes. Maybe add more arbols if you need it spicier.
Char a white onion and then blend that with all your strained items and about a cup of water. Add some msg and salt to taste.
The other suggestions are solid, I just wanna say I love the idea of “reusing” stuff like this. I often use a tofu marinade as a stirfry sauce once im done with it. One of my favorite aspects of cooking is utilizing scraps or “waste”.
Grill pineapple slices and dice them up in it.
