- Get a pan and place it on a cooker on medium heat, fry the garlic quickly in a tablespoon of vegetable oil for about a minute. Add chiles to garlic, fry them quickly for 1-2 minutes while flipping them frequently until they just start to toast, avoid burning
- Take the fried chiles and garlic to a high-speed blender, and add the water and vinegar, let them sit for about 5 minutes so they can become soft.
- Blend them on high speed for 15-20 seconds, switch to low speed, then add in the remaining vegetable oil slowly, and let the mixture reach a creamy consistency.
- Now, add the roasted tomatoes and onion with salt to the mixture and blend them all together on high speed until it is smooth.
- The sauce is now ready, serve it with tortilla chips or add it to tacos. You can store it in a jar, and place it in the fridge for about 2 weeks. Enjoy!
