Instructions

  • Place oven rack on upper third of oven and preheat broiler. Place whole tomatoes (halved if large, skin side up), onion, jalapenos, and garlic on heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with avocado oil. Broil until lightly charred on top, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Put the remaining avocado oil in a large sauce pan over medium heat. Add the dried chiles. Saute for just a minute to release the flavors, being careful not to burn the chiles.
  • Add the broiled vegetables to the pot. Remove from heat. Using a stick blender (or blender) puree the mixture, adding water as necessary to thin.
  • Remove from heat. Stir in the cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Correct seasonings.
