Smoky Mexican Salsa - Cowboy Kent Rollins

Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings 3 cups

Ingredients

  • 3 dried ancho chiles stemmed and seeded
  • 6 Beefsteak or large tomatoes cored
  • 2 jalapenos stemmed, seeded and chopped
  • ½ large white onion chopped
  • 3 to 5 tablespoons Hatch green chiles
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 2 teaspoons whole oregano
  • Kent’s Original seasoning or salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Add the ancho chiles to a small saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil for about 4 minutes, or until add enough water to cover the ancho chili and bring to boil. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes, or until tender.
  • Add the tomatoes to a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Roast for about 4 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tomatoes are tender and slightly charred.
  • Add the jalapeno and onions and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the garlic.
  • Add the content of the skillet to a blender.
  • Strain the ancho chiles from the water and add to the blender along with the honey, cumin and oregano.
  • Pulse the blender until the contents are chunky, or you reach the desired consistency. Do not run the blender too long to create a soupy consistency.
  • Pour into a bowl and season to taste. Cover and chill for 45 minutes, or until ready to serve.
  • Note: After blending, you can also strain the contents through a colander for a less juicy consistency.
