Time 35m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 Anaheim chile peppers, halved and seeded
1 ½ cups canola oil
⅓ cup roasted pepitas
⅓ cup red wine vinegar
⅓ cup lime juice
5 tablespoons crumbled cotija cheese
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 small bunches fresh cilantro, stems removed
1 ½ cups mayonnaise
¼ cup water

Steps:

  • Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place peppers with cut sides down onto the prepared baking sheet.
  • Cook under the preheated broiler until the skin of the peppers has blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins.
  • Combine roasted peppers, canola oil, pepitas, red wine vinegar, lime juice, cotija cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor. Blend to combine, about 10 seconds. Add cilantro a little at a time and blend until smooth.
  • Combine mayonnaise and water in a large bowl and whisk until smooth. Add the blended pepper mixture to the mayonnaise mixture and mix thoroughly.
