Red Taqueria Style Salsa
Print Recipe

Taqueria-style salsa, also known as salsa roja or salsa de taqueria, is a type of spicy, red salsa that is typically served at taquerias, or Mexican taco stands.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 Guajillo Peppers cleaned, seeds removed, and deveined.
  • 16 arbol peppers stems removed.
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 teaspoons granulated chicken bullion powder.
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Fill a saucepan with 4 cups of water, and set aside.
  2. Slightly roasted guajillo peppers and garlic cloves on a warm griddle (this step takes only seconds). You can flatten the peppers to have an even roasting by gently pressing them down with a wooden spatula. Remove promptly to avoid burning the peppers (burned peppers render a bitter taste). Place roasted peppers and peeled garlic cloves in the saucepan.
  3. Now, roast the Arbol peppers. Arbol peppers will roast quite faster than guajillo peppers, that is why we’re roasting them separately. Once roasted, place them in the saucepan with the rest of the peppers.
  4. Turn heat to medium-high and turn off once the water starts boiling. Cover the saucepan and wait for 20 minutes. This soaking time will help to soften the peppers.
  5. Place peppers and garlic into your blender jar along with 1/2 cup of water. Discard any leftover soaking water. Process until you have a smooth sauce. Pour the sauce back in the saucepan, stir in the granulated chicken bouillon, taste to check if more salt is needed according to your own taste, and season with salt and pepper. Turn the heat to medium-high and cook for 5 minutes, just enough time to allow the chicken bouillon to dissolve and for the flavors to blend.
