I made my go to fresh salsa and then I decided to add Arbol chilies to some of the salsa and make it into a sauce for street tacos (I realize this isn’t traditional chill de arbol but it was close enough with little effort). I got so many compliments on both. I cooked the Arbol chilies in grapeseed oil, added them to a cup of hot water to soften. Removed the seeds. Added the chilies to the blender with a cup or two of the salsa and the oil from the pan. Yum.
