Alfredo’s "Taco Shop Style" Red Sauce.If you have ever been to Southern California you have seen the "real" Mexican fast food drive-thru places like Albertos, Robertos, Los Ponchos etc., etc. Well this is the same hot sauce they give you in those little plastic containers.
2 med. sized tomatoes, roast in a pan to blacken some skin.
1 green (fresh) Serrano or jalapeno. Roast to blacken some skin.
10-12 Chile de Arbol (Dried) Toast lightly in a pan after tomatoes. (The chilies roast quickly and if the pan is still hot after the tomatoes you can toast them without flame).
1 clove of garlic diced
3-5 sprigs of cilantro (just the leaves)
Salt to taste
Puree in blender and serve. Will last about a week in the fridge.
(Cutting the tomatoes before putting them in the blender makes it easier to blend)
