I made my basic arbol salsa but added 1/3 cup of sesame seeds for a nice creamy taste. It came out great and ***was popular at two social gatherings I went to over the weekend with both salsa aficionados and more casual eaters.***
My basic arbol salsa:
* 40 dried Arbol chili, stems cut off, steeped in boiling water * 6 Roma tomatoes, roasted in broiler * 6 Garlic cloves, roasted in broiler * 2 tsp Vinegar (I like rice vinegar) * 2-1/2 tsp sea salt
​
* Then I added 1/3 cup sesame seeds
Blend until smooth.

Wonder if prepared tahini would work as well? It’s simply ground sesame seeds.

Do the sesame seeds have a nutty flavor when used like this in salsa?

That looks amazing and now I’m going to need to try this myself! Thanks for sharing the recipe!
Have you ever tried pumpkin seeds/pepitas instead of sesame seeds? One of my favorite taquerias back home used them in an arbol heavy salsa and I’ve been trying to replicate it ever since.

I am going to have to try this. Your arbol/ancho recipe you posted here a few weeks has entered my normal rotation. I even printed out and laminated a recipe card for it. Only the best recipes get printed and laminated in my kitchen.

Just added sesame seeds to my salsa inspired by your post. Can confirm it is very, very, very tasty and the 1/3 cup ratio is perfect. Changed my salsa game permanently. Thank you for posting!!!!!
