 Ingredients:

2 Casa Mexicana Pasilla chiles

2 tomatoes

3 tablespoons olive oil

1 garlic clove

1/2 onion

Salt to taste

Preparation:

1. Start by cleaning and removing the chile seeds.
2. In a pan, start the tatemado process by adding the pasilla chiles first until they’re becoming aromatic about 2 minutes, remove the chiles set them aside, chop the onion in four and add to the pan with the tomatoes and the garlic for about 8 minutes. Move constantly, every 40-60 seconds to avoid burning, we want to achieve a nice char on the vegetables.
3. Once the tatemado is ready, add all the ingredients to the molcajete or food processer/blender. For a classic chunky consistency pulse for less than 3 seconds three times. For a smooth consistency allow food processer to work for at least 30 seconds continuously. Your first salsa is ready to serve!
