Ingredients

  1. 1/2 pound Italian Roma tomatoes
  2. 3/4 pound tomatillos, husked and washed
  3. 1/3 cup (12 to 15) arbol chiles
  4. 1/2 bunch cilantro, leaves only, chopped
  5. 1 medium white onion, chopped
  6. 2 tablespoons ground cumin
  7. 4 garlic cloves, crushed
  8. 2 cups water
  9. 1 teaspoon salt
  10. 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  11. 1 avocado (just slightly under-ripe), peeled, seeded, and finely diced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the broiler. Place the tomatoes and tomatillos on a baking sheet. Broil, turning occasionally, until charred all over, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a saucepan along with the remaining ingredients. Bring the mixture to boil and cook until the onions are soft, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a food processor or blender. Puree and then strain. Serve at room temperature or slightly chilled. Arbol salsa can be stored in the refrigerator 3 to 5 days or frozen for weeks. Just before serving, stir in the avocado.

Super flavorful and spicy!!! But took a long time to strain. I almost wanted to leave it without fully straining because of how long it took. I tried it strained and unstrained. It was good both ways
