Ingredients

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.
