Yield Makes 1 cup

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ancho chiles
1/2 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup golden tequila
1 garlic clove, minced
4 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup crumbled añejo or feta cheese

Steps:

  • Cook the chiles in a dry sauté pan over high heat, turning them constantly, for 2 minutes, or until slightly toasted. Halve and seed the chiles. Tear them into small pieces and transfer the pieces to a blender.
  • Add the orange juice, tequila, garlic, and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil to the blender. Puree until the salsa is nearly smooth.
  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in a sauté pan over high heat. Add the salsa and cook for 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Season the salsa with salt and pepper. Let it cool completely. (The salsa can be made 1 day ahead. Cover the sauce and keep it in the fridge.)
  • Serve the salsa topped with the crumbled añejo cheese.

Tips:

  • To make the best salsa borracha, use fresh, ripe tomatoes. Roma tomatoes are a good choice because they are less juicy and have fewer seeds.
  • If you don't have fresh tomatoes, you can use canned tomatoes. Just be sure to drain them well before using.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of chili peppers to your taste. If you like it spicier, add more peppers. If you prefer it milder, use less.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of beer. A light beer will give the salsa a more subtle flavor, while a dark beer will give it a richer flavor.
  • Salsa borracha is a great make-ahead dish. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Conclusion:

Salsa borracha is a delicious and versatile dish that can be used as a dip, a sauce, or a marinade. It's perfect for parties, potlucks, and everyday meals. So next time you're looking for a new salsa recipe, give salsa borracha a try. You won't be disappointed.
