    Salsa roja:
    – 3 roma tomatoes, halved
    – 7 chile de arbol
    – 1 guajillo chile
    – 1/2 medium white onion, cut into chunks
    – Big handful of cilantro leaves (~1/4 to 1/2 cup loosely packed)
    – 1 garlic clove
    – 1/4 cup of water
    – Salt to taste

    Salsa verde:
    – 7-8 tomatillos, halved
    – 1-2 serrano peppers, halved
    – 1/2 medium white onion, cut into chunks
    – Big handful of cilantro leaves (~1/4 to 1/2 cup loosely packed)
    – 1 garlic clove
    – 1/2 cup of water
    – Salt to taste

    Broiled the tomatoes, tomatillos, onion, serrano peppers, and garlic (unpeeled, you can peel it later) on the top rack of an oven on high for 10-12 minutes (or until everything is blistered).

    For the dry chiles (arbol and guajillo), I poured boiling water over them in a bowl (I used a kettle) and let them sit for 15-20 minutes. For both salsas, once all that is done then you blend and serve!
