This salsa casera also called salsa tatemada (charred) is a perfect appetizer with a basket of your favorite tortilla chips or as the base for several of our recipes.
In a food processor or blender, pulse the roasted and peeled chiles, jalapeño peppers (optional), salt, garlic, canned tomatoes, and tomato sauce for a few seconds.
You do not want to puree it—chunky is best with this flavorful salsa.
