When my friend Emma who is from Mexico was teaching me how to make Taquitos, she asked me if I had salsa to put on them.
I reached in the fridge and pulled out my store bought bottle of salsa. I wish I would have had my camera in my hand because the look on her face was "New York City? get a rope!" LOL! She then politely said "that's not REAL salsa!" hahaha! I'm so glad I had the fake stuff so I could be shown the right way to make it. I think you will love the fresh ingredients and just how easy and
fun it is to make!

2-3 Roma tomatoes
1 clove garlic
1-3 dried Arbol chilies, find in Latin food section
3/4 tsp. salt
Place tomatoes in a skillet and roast to loosen skin. Keep turning to roast evenly. My tomatoes are not completely red and that is OK!
When Tomatoes are almost done, add peppers to skillet to roast. These will only take 1-2 minutes for the peppers to roast. Remove peppers and set aside.
Using a fork to hold the tomato scrape the skin off
of the tomatoes.
Peel garlic and place in a blender with tomatoes peppers and salt.
Blend until pureed.
Blend until pureed.
Remove stem from peppers before adding to blender.
Serve over Taquitos or any other Mexican dish.
