Ingredients
• 6 Roma tomatoes cut in half.
• 1 red bell pepper cut into large chunks.
• 2 jalapeños tops removed.
• ½ medium red onion cut into large chunks
• 1 tablespoon garlic minced.
• 2 guajillo chiles dried (or substitute with dried ancho chiles)
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoon lime juice
• ¼ cup cilantro chopped
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• ¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions
• Add tomatoes, bell pepper, jalapeños, red onion, garlic, guajillo chiles, and chili powder to blender.
• Blend until smooth.
• In a deep pot or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until hot.
• Pour in salsa and cook for 8-10 minutes, until salsa has reduced, thickened slightly, and deepened in color. Careful – salsa will splatter and pop.
