Salsa Borracho
- 1/2 ounce (2 to 4) dried New Mexico chilies
- 1 dried ancho chili
- 3 firm-ripe tomatoes (3/4 lb. total), cored
- 1/4 cup chopped onion
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh jalapeno chili
- 1 to 2 tablespoons tequila
- Salt
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- Bake dried chilies in a rimmed pan in a 250u0b0 oven until fragrant, 4 to 5 minutes. Cool briefly, then break off and discard stems. Shake out and discard seeds. Place chilies in a bowl and pour 1 cup boiling water over them. Let stand until soft, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, broil tomatoes in a rimmed pan about 4 inches from heat, turning as needed, until charred, 5 to 8 minutes. Let cool.
- With a slotted spoon, transfer soaked chilies to a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth, adding about 3 tablespoons of the soaking water to blend smoothly. Discard remaining water.
- Add to blender the roasted tomatoes, onion, garlic, lime juice, and fresh chili. Whirl until coarsely pureed. Season to taste with tequila and salt, then stir in cilantro.
