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:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: Roma tomatoes are the best choice for salsa borracha because they are firm and less juicy than other varieties.
  • Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes in the oven caramelizes their sugars and gives them a smoky flavor.
  • Use a variety of peppers: To add flavor and spice to your salsa, use a combination of different types of peppers, such as serrano peppers, jalapeño peppers, or habanero peppers.
  • Don't overcook the onions: Sauté the onions until they are softened, but not browned.
  • Use fresh cilantro: Fresh cilantro adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the salsa.
  • Marinate the salsa: Marinating the salsa for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld together.
  • Serve the salsa chilled: Salsa borracha is best served chilled, so make it ahead of time and allow it to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Salsa borracha is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is perfect for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, or simply served with chips as an appetizer. With its smoky flavor and spicy kick, salsa borracha is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
