8 servings
- 1 ½ lb roma tomatoes (about 6 medium), halved lengthwise
- 3 dried guajillo chiles, stems and seeds removed
- 1 dried ancho chile, stem and seeds removed
- 4 garlic cloves, unpeeled
- 1 medium white onion, cut into 4 wedges
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- ½ cup water
- 1 tsp kosher salt, plus more to taste
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- 1 chipotle chile in adobo sauce (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Position an oven rack 4–5 inches from the broiler element and preheat the broiler to high. Arrange the tomato halves cut-side up, onion wedges, and unpeeled garlic cloves on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil for 10–12 minutes, until the tomatoes are deeply charred in spots and softened, the onion edges are browned, and the garlic skins are darkened.

While the vegetables broil, heat a dry medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the guajillo and ancho chiles and press them flat against the pan for 15–20 seconds per side, until fragrant and slightly darkened — watch closely, as they can scorch quickly. Transfer the toasted chiles to the saucepan, cover with the 1/2 cup water, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer for 5 minutes, until the chiles are softened and pliable, then remove from heat.
