Roasted Three-Chile Salsa
This hot salsa recipe is typically made in a large molcajete (lava-rock mortar and pestle), but this recipe calls for a food processor or blender to make it easier. If you have a molcajete, feel free to use it instead. If you can't find the bright orange manzano chiles, sold at Mexican grocery stores, double the amount of jalapeño (or for a hotter salsa, double the habanero).

  • Wearing disposable gloves to protect your hands, peel the chiles. Remove the black seeds from the manzano and the stems from the others.

  • Peel and coarsely chop the chiles and garlic. Transfer to a food processor or blender and pulse just until chunky. Transfer to a medium bowl. Core the tomatoes and coarsely chop, then pulse in the food processor or blender until chunky. Add to the bowl and stir in salt.

Tips

To make ahead: Refrigerate for up to 1 week.
