    My recipe
    8 oz New Mexico chili dried
    4 oz guajillo dried
    3 tablespoons onion powder
    3 tablespoons garlic powder
    3 tablespoons cumin
    3 tablespoons Mexican oregano
    2 tablespoons salt
    1 tablespoons chicken bouillon
    28 oz can whole San Marzano ceno

    The is a work in progress and I adjust the ratios based on taste, but I want to give all an idea of the flavor profile.

    I rehydrated the chili in 3 cups water brought to boil and then steeped for 30 minutes. Once tender I placed in the blender with entire can of tomatoes, added spices, and blended until smooth. I added the stock water until thinned to desired consistency.

    This is my white whale. This is a local Sonoran Style Mexican restaurant here in Phoenix, and this salsa is so amazing!

    The restaurant salsa is oregano forward, undertone of cumin and then pow, chili flavor with a mild heat. It is all very savory. It tastes best with thin floor chips.

    I am looking for chili suggestions, really any suggestions I have their cook book and they don’t mention specific chilis. They just mention chili de sarta as a base. My salsa is more light red and I am wondering if they are cooking theirs.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Sounds awesome! You should simmer it to cook the raw spices.
