Instructions
- Wipe outside of chilis with damp paper towel to remove any dust. Remove stems and seeds and tear chilis into small pieces.
- Heat oil in medium saucepan on medium heat until hot. Add garlic; cook about 1 minute or until golden brown. Stir in chilis, peanuts and sesame seed; cook and stir 1 minute. Reduce heat, if needed, to avoid burning the chilis. (Over-browning the chilis will make salsa bitter.) Remove saucepan from heat and allow to cool about 5 minutes.
- Carefully transfer oil mixture to blender container. Add vinegar, piloncillo, oregano and salt; cover. Blend until smooth. To serve, drizzle over tacos, grilled fish or tostadas. Store in airtight container in refrigerator.
