Number Of Ingredients 7

4 ounces dried guajillo chiles (about 18), stemmed
6 garlic cloves, unpeeled
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt plus more
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Ingredient info: Guajillo chiles are available at Latin markets and some supermarkets.

Steps:

  • Heat a large dry cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, toast chiles until slightly puffed and fragrant, 15-20 seconds per side. Let cool.
  • Using kitchen scissors and working over a medium bowl, cut chiles into thin rings, reserving seeds. Cover with 2 cups very hot water and let soak for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic; cook, turning often, until tender and skin is lightly charred, about 8 minutes. Let cool. Peel; trim ends.
  • Transfer chiles with seeds and liquid to a blender; add roasted garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoon salt, and remaining ingredients. Pulse until a thick, coarse purée forms. Season with salt.

I'm not a big fan of spicy food, but this salsa is mild enough for even me to enjoy. It's got a great flavor without being too overpowering.

This salsa is a great way to use up leftover chiles. I always have a few extra on hand, and this is a great way to put them to good use.

I didn't have any tomatillos on hand, so I used canned tomatoes instead. The salsa still turned out great!

The salsa turned out a bit too spicy for me, but I'm sure that's just because I used too many chiles. Next time I'll use less.
