Steps:
- Tear all the chiles into large pieces and toast them in a large dry skillet over medium heat until they change color a bit, about 2 minutes. Add the spices and continue to toast for 2 to 3 minutes until everything is fragrant. Remove from heat and carefully add about 1 cup of hot water to just cover the chiles. Turn the heat to low and simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Preheat the broiler. Put the quartered tomatoes, sliced onion, and whole garlic cloves onto a roasting tray, spreading out evenly. Drizzle with plenty of olive oil and season well with salt and pepper and sprinkle with cilantro sprigs. Broil until everything is nicely charred, about 10 minutes (you want lots of deep rich color so don't be afraid if some of the edges get pretty black).
- Add the chile mixture to a blender and puree. Remove the tomato/onion mixture from the roasting pan and carefully add it to the blender, (it will be hot). Blend until smooth (you may need to work in 2 batches). Once everything is pureed, pour the mixture back into the pot over low heat adding a little water if the salsa is too thick. Stir in the sugar and lime juice and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a large serving bowl and serve.

Steps:
- Place all the ingredients into a blender. Blend well so onions are cut up finely and all ingredients are mixed together well.
- I have found to determine if the salsa is "perfect", it is better to taste it with a tortilla chip rather than with the sauce alone. Sometimes it is perfect the way the recipe is, other times I'll add more of the jalapenos, cilantro, vinegar, lime or salt depending on taste.
- Let the salsa the set over night for best flavor. You can eat it after about an hour in the fridge, but over night is best.
- This is one of those recipes you'll make a few times and modify to make your own perfect blend of salsa.

CHARRED SALSA ROJA
Steps:
- Heat a large cast-iron skillet over high heat. Add the tomatoes, garlic, chiles and onion and cook, turning occasionally, until charred on all sides, about 3 minutes for the garlic, 4 to 5 minutes for the chiles, 6 to 8 minutes for the onion and 8 to 10 minutes for the tomatoes. Transfer to a plate to cool. When cool enough to handle, peel the garlic.
- Add the tomatoes, garlic, chiles, onion, cilantro, lime juice and 1 tablespoon salt to a blender and puree on low speed, stopping to scrape the sides and bottom to ensure an even texture, until the salsa is almost smooth but some small pieces remain. Season with salt and more lime juice if needed.
ENCHILADAS WITH SALSA ROJA
I've tried many enchilada recipes, and cobbled them together to create the one that works best for me. It's a little time consuming to dip the tortillas in hot oil then in the sauce before filling and rolling the enchiladas, but the taste is so good that it's worth the extra effort. this sauce is also good by itself with chips (I munch on any leftover sauce with chips while waiting for the enchiladas to bake!) You can also add 1 small can of tomato sauce to the sauce if you like tomato-y enchilada sauce. El Yucateco extra hot chile habanero sauce is my favorite sauce to add heat, and you can add 1 tablespoon of this sauce to the enchilada sauce and omit the small hot red peppers if you wish. A packet of fajita seasoning adds a lot of flavor to the beef mixture and can replace the other spices if you're in a hurry.

Steps:
- Puree first 4 ingredients in food processor. Add to saucepan, straining first to remove any large chunks. Stir in remaining sauce ingredients and saute for several minutes on low until mixture starts to bubble. Remove from heat.
- Saute beef and diced onion in olive oil until cooked to desired doneness. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of the cheese.
- Heat oil and, using tongs, dip corn tortillas one at a time in oil, then in sauce. Fill with 2 tablespoons of beef mixture and roll, placing side by side in greased baking dish (be careful, as tortillas will be hot). Pour remaining sauce over enchiladas and bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Top with remaining cheese and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until cheese is melted. Let pan rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees with rack in upper third. Put tomatoes, cut side up, on a rimmed baking sheet, along with onion, 2 jalapenos, and garlic. Drizzle with oil and roast until vegetables are blistered in places and wilting, 22 to 25 minutes. Remove from oven.
- Pulse remaining jalapeno in a food processor until finely chopped. Add roasted vegetables and any accumulated juices, along with cilantro, salt, lime juice, and broth. Pulse until smooth.
Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your salsa will be.
- Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives them a slightly smoky taste.
- Add some heat: If you like spicy salsa, add some chopped jalapeños or serrano peppers.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh cilantro and basil add a bright, herbaceous flavor to salsa.
- Don't over blend: Salsa should have a chunky texture, so don't over blend it.
- Chill before serving: Salsa is best when it's chilled, so make it ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
Salsa roja is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to add some flavor to your meal, give salsa roja a try.
