Does anyone have any idea what the recipe for this salsa could be? It appears to have some dried chiles but have never been able to replicate it before.

    – Which Restaurant, and approximately where?

    – What did it taste like?

    – Was it spicy or mild?

    – Can you identify any of the ingredients (other than dried chiles) on your own that might aide us in figuring out the rest?

    Imma say it’s probably

    Red tomatoes

    Garlic

    Looks like diced onion

    Cilantro diced

    Jalapeños or Serranos for spice most likely de seeded depending on spice level

    Dried chilies? If it taste Smokey it’s probably a ancho pepper

    If its just spice dried chilies they could be chile de Arbol.

    Salt

    Lime if you taste any zestiness.

    The black seed looking things in the photo could also be a Manzano pepper

    Have you asked them, worst they will say is no?

    I jokingly asked for a queso recipe, the owner wrote it down on a cocktail napkin for me. They might just give you the ingredients but it’s a start.

    Make sure to add chicken bouillon powder/cube or just a sprinkle of msg. The other big ingredient, at least in my area, is canned chipotle – any recipe missing that isn’t going to taste like restaurant salsa.
