Ingredients
- 2 chiles de árbol stemmed, or more to taste
- 1 1/2 pound about 5 or 6 ripe Roma tomatoes
- 1/2 pound about 4 tomatillos husked and rinsed
- 1 to 2 jalapeños or to taste
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped white onion
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro leaves and upper stems
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt or more to taste
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
To Prepare
- Preheat a comal or small saute pan over medium-low heat. Once hot, toast chiles de árbol for about a minute until toasted and fragrant. Remove from the heat.
- Place the tomatoes, tomatillos, jalapeños, and garlic in a medium saucepan. Cover with water and set over medium-high heat, simmer for about 10 minutes until the tomatoes and tomatillos are cooked and mushy and the jalapeños have softened and changed their color.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the tomatoes, tomatillos, jalapeños, and garlic to blender. Incorporate the chiles de árbol, onion, cilantro, cumin, and salt and puree until smooth.
- Set a medium saucepan over medium heat, once hot add the oil. Once the oil is hot, pour in the salsa and be ready to partially cover with the lid as it will jump. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, until thickened and seasoned and color has deepened.

Made this recently, but I did not have any chiles de árbol so I used some red cayennes from my garden and added a dash of coarse ground black pepper. Came out very good. Shared some with some coworkers and they were impressed. Will make more.

Hi Pati,
Such a great recipe. It’s the best salsa for huevos rancheros or carne asada.
Muchisimas Gracias

It is! Thanks so much Eric 🙂

Pati,
You are the greatest.
I roast the tomatoes and the tomatillos on a cookie sheet to get that char boiled taste…then blacken the onions, garlic, and chiles in the cast iron. I pulse it in the food processor for chunkier texture.
It’s one of our favorites

We loved it, even though we did not have jalapeños at the time. The salsa was easy to make, balanced, and a perfect complement to the chicken quesadillas that my wife made.

Patti, I am just learning to cook Mexican cuisine and after watching you many times I felt confident in trying some of your recipes, your Sonoran Chilorio I made was a huge hit with several of my Spanish friends, as well as carnitas, I am not a young man and I know foods very well lol, the Chilorio was amazing !!! Thank you for all you share .
Pati Jinich

My pleasure Rhett! Keep cooking and having fun in the kitchen 😉

Saw this episode yesterday and literally immediately ran out to get the ingredients and made it for my coworkers! It was a huge hit with the Mexicans I work with, the Indonesian and the Americans as well! Next time I will tweek the recipe a bit: after the final cooking step I will add the cumin (a tad more than required), some lime juice and add the cilantro and reblend. The cilantro kind of gets lost when cooked out.
Also, your tres leches recipe is better than anything I have had at the Mexican restaurants in town! I make it every year for my Mexican friends birthday and it’s always a huge hit!
Pati Jinich

Thanks for letting me know David, so glad you are having fun cooking my recipes, yay!

Delicious salsa, but my chili de arbol (home grown) must not be as hot or spicy as your’s. I ended up adding 15 chili de arbol. The salsa is delicious and will be perfect on tacos. Can’t wait until it’s dinner time!
Pati Jinich
Jul 20
OMG that sound like a lot of chiles, haha! But so glad you liked this recipe Bob.

Tomatoes and tomatillo are coming in from the garden so I just put a pot on to cook. I love your recipes so I am eclipse to try this one. Thanks Pati

Among a zillion great recipes from Pati, this has become our go to, super easy to make, and versatile salsa…amazing on migas, swordfish tacos and of course with chips.
I DON’T over purée to a smooth consistency. Everyone here likes it more chunky like a salsa fresca or tomatillo salsa so I use a food processor instead of a blender.
Kim Gianandrea
Jul 16
I am going to make your Salsa Callejera and have a rather dumb question. After blending the salsa why do you cook it? Is it taste or color? I love your recipies but, watching your show is worth it because your just so darn fun to listen to.
Pati Jinich
Jul 28
Cooking it adds an extra layer of flavor to this salsa Kim, and the pretty color I guess is just an added bonus 🙂
Stacey K
Jun 17
Oh my! Muy beuno! I saw this on your show and had everything I needed in the kitchen, and I am SO glad I made this. This would be good on an old sock. I followed everything perfectly except I used 2 tomatillos instead of 4, we don’t really like too much of the tomatillos, we’re pretty die hard fans Roja sauces, and this was a really great balance with just the 2. I’m so surprised how much heat comes out of those tiny little Arbol peppers!!! I pulled 3 out of the bag and they were so small I really fought the urge to grab about 4 more, I’m so heavy handed lol. That would have ruined a beautiful salsa so I’m glad I didn’t. 3 gave it a pretty intense heat plus the jalapeños added heat. I’m in love with this sauce, I just sent my husband to get me 10 more pounds of tomatoes to can a big batch and make sure we never go without it again!!!
Pati Jinich
Nov 09
Yay! So glad you liked it so much Stacey 😉

I love your recipes but l wish you would explain what de arbol is for those who don’t speak Spanish
Pati Jinich
Jul 28
Hey Tammy, chile de arbol literally means chile from a tree; it is a small red dried pepper that is regularly very hot 🙂
Laura King West
Jun 02
Discovered this recipe 10 days ago and I’ve made it twice! My family is putting it on everything!! My 6 year old goes crazy for it also! His favorite is with chips and taquitos. My two year old loves it in burritos. I like how you suggest using less peppers for less heat to try first. I used only 1 of each chili the first time aiming to please the kids but everyone requested more spice. So, the second time I went all in! Thanks Pati!
Pati Jinich
Jun 10
Aw! I love it so much when the littles enjoy my recipes, yay. Tell your kid that I love this salsa on taquitos as well 😉

Hi Pati, I love this recipe. Have you ever made it with an immersion blender? I live and travel in a converted van so I gave my upright blender away.
Pati Jinich

Have never done it that way but I do not see why you couldn’t, go ahead and enjoy Leli!

Hi Pati,
Thank you for all your gems. This salsa is delicious and I have to comment even though I know it’s been a while since you’ve shared it.
It’s classic and a keeper. I do, however, add an extra clove of garlic (or two)!!! 🙂
We love you and your salsa!

Hi Pati! I’ve made this salsa several times and it is one of my favorites. I can’t wait for my summer home grown tomatoes as they make this salsa even better. I so enjoy your cooking show and have made several of your recipes. I am an accomplished cook but you have taught me much about Mexican cuisine. I appreciate you and your recipes!
Pati Jinich
Apr 19
This is very kind of you John, thanks so much! I am sure your own tomatoes will make this salsa even better 😉

Do you take the seeds out of the chiles de arbol? Is it best to use dried or fresh?
Pati Jinich
Oct 05
I normally use dried and I do not remove the seeds on the chiles de arbol in particular. With others like guajillos and anchos I do.

Thanks Anna Marie for your comments and suggestions, I will definitely pass them on to my team. Have a great day!

Aug 02
I made this last year after watching your TV show. We harvested tomatillos from our garden along with fresh tomatoes. I used red pepperflakes instead of the chiles de arbol. This salsa was so delicious. I froze some to use at a later time..
Pati Jinich
Aug 14
Everything is better with your own fresh vegetables, thanks Gail!
Terri
Sep 16
Thank you Gail for saying you froze it! I have a bunch of tomatoes with tough skins so am going to skin them and then make this salsa. Too much for 2 people to slurp up quickly so I’ll put in ziplocks and freeze.
Pati.
Will the taste change significantly if I don’t use tomatillos? I don’t have any at the moment.
Pati Jinich
Sep 23
Go ahead with just tomatoes Terri 🙂
Sherry

Hi, this salsa is awesome! I doubled the chili de Arbol and added 3 jalapeño. Plus two cloves of garlic. We like it spicy! I also added a small pinch of Mexican Oregano. Salted to taste of course. Thanks!
Pati Jinich
Aug 14
Yay, spicy! So happy you liked this recipe Sherry 🙂

Pati,
Love your show, your recipes, and your books! My garden this summer is overflowing with chiles de árbol and serranos. Can I use the green chiles de árbol and toast them or do you suggest sticking with the dried? Also I spent a month down in Chiapas (San Cristobal). Are you planning any shows highlighting that far south region ?
Pati Jinich
Jul 04
Hi Janet! I think it will be great to use your fresh chiles de arbol, let me know how this recipe comes out with those 😉 I would love to film in Chiapas, hopefully soon!
Anita
May 30
Hi Pati! This is delicious! Can it be frozen and if so how would you recommend defrosting?
Pati Jinich
Jun 09
Yes Anita, go ahead and freeze it in an air tight bag or container; to thaw, just bring it down to the fridge overnight. Enjoy!
Jim Blondheim
Nov 27
Pati! We so enjoy your show. Thank you. I made this salsa today and my taste tests says it’ll be delicious. I followed the recipe exactly as written. Next time, I might add a bit more salt and cumin.
Next is your tomato avocado salad and your Sanborn Swiss chicken enchilada recipes. Dinner will be fantastic!

Hi Patti,
Amazing…a couple of my work friends and I wished we knew how to replicate the ‘hot’ table sauce at our local Mexican restaurant. After reading your recipe it looked very promising. It did not disappoint, fantastic! Now, I went a little crazy with 6 dried d’arbols, 2 jalapenos and only had a pound of tomatoes so a bit hot for chip dipping but so good on tacos & even splashed onto some cooked butternut squash pulled from the freezer.
Thank you!
Pati Jinich
May 23
Wow you like it hot Steve, awesome! So glad you guys enjoyed this Salsa 😉

This recipe is the best. I thank my mother in law for introducing me to your cooking. I make this weekly. I have thoroughly enjoyed all the recipes I have cooked from your book and website. As a beginner I was intimidated at first but you recipes are easy to follow. Thank you again.

Theron Tomicki

One question, I’d it ok to transfer the very hot tomatoes, onions, etc to blender? Do we have to let cool? Thank you Pati.
Pati Jinich
Jan 16
You can do it while they are hot, just make sure you wrap a kitchen cloth around the lid of your blender and hold it tight down or the hot mixture will just explode all over 🙂
Theron

Aye Pati, you’ve done it again! This salsa was muy rica! Thank you for this wonderful recipe. I made this for Thanksgiving yesterday and my wife and I spooned it on everything. I even thought about putting it on the pumpkin pie. Hahaha We love your show and watch it every week. Your trips to Mexico are so much fun to watch. You have brought a lot of comfort into our home during this very difficult year. Many blessings.

Hi Pati!
I absolutely love watching your show, I always say you feel like family! My hubby and I made this yesterday to go with tacos, and oh my word it was so delicious! I kept eating it by the spoonful like a spicy soup! One of my favorite things is when you try a bite of food and say “Que Rico!” And that is exactly what I said when I tried this salsa!! Thank you for your delicious recipes, and for the comfort and joy your show brings!
Pati Jinich

Thanks so much for the sweet words Tricia, you made my day! So glad you enjoyed this salsita 😉

Pati, when I watched this episode it looked like you took your cilantro out of a canning jar. Is that how you store it?
Pati Jinich
Nov 03
I use the jar more like a flower vase 🙂 So a bit of water and keep the cilantro stems in there for freshness Nancy.

Hi Pati! My husband and I feel the same way about salsa, we like them all! So glad to have come across your recipe for a combination of our favorite salsas. I am surprised there is only two tablespoons of white onion in this recipe. Could we use more onion without compromising the favor in this salsa?
Pati Jinich
May 04
Yes Jennifer, I guess you could add more onion if you like it so much, just not too much so the flavor won’t be overwhelmed by it 😉
Maria

Hi Patty I just finished up this recipe, and I must say it is muy delicioso!
I put it over my avocado and fried eggs (the salsa hasn’t even had a chance to fully cool yet) breakfast, OMG so great!
Thanks for all the great recipes and inspiration, as well as weights and measurements for ingredients, my 3 chiles de árbol were only 1/2 ounce, if I had gone off of count alone my sauce would have not tasted so bold!
Keep up the great work!
Mark
Pati Jinich

Thanks so much Mark! So happy to know the salsa was a hit 😉
Matthew
Feb 27
Hi Pati,
I relocated recently from Los Angeles to Germany, where fresh tomatillos are not available, putting a serious dent in my ability to make many of my favorite Mexican recipes. Do you recommend the canned tomatillos from La Costena as a substitute to fresh, or should I wait for my plants to produce fruit late this summer?
Best!
Pati Jinich
Feb 27
Well Matthew, I know La Costena products are very high in quality, but I have never used myself their canned tomatillos for salsa. Anyway, why don’t you go for it and let me know the result? 😉
Austex55
Aug 03
I’ve used the canned tomatillos with success in cooked sauces. You probably can skip boiling them, but use your own judgement.
Randy Smith
Jan 27
My wife and I love the show and she got me one of your books for the holidays and have been making recipes this whole new year! … she loved the red sauce, which is high praise because shes not a big mexican food fan, I know, crazy!! (Shes from Michigan) . Just got done making this recipe and it is Outstanding!!! The only problem is I always make too much! And then I eat to much! I love it!!
Pati Jinich
Jan 31
Thanks Randy for sharing this story about your wife, I’m sure she will become a Mexican Food fan in no time! If you have left overs when preparing this salsa you can save it and use it on Huevos Rancheros for breakfast, for example, or in this Egg Casserole instead of the Salsa Ranchera http://patijinich.com/pati_2020/baked-egg-casserole/ Enjoy!
Mark
Jan 07
Very good flavor!. Mexican food is my number one. I was born and raised in a small town in southern California called Corona. At least 3/4 mexican. I loved it. My very best friends and memories are from my life in Corona. Thank you Pati for such wonderful salsa.
Pati Jinich

Oh I hope many more recipes bring back such great memories, Mark.

Hola Pati,
Do you ever put Mexican Oregano in your Salsas? My wife says she just uses Cilantro, she says everything is better; Salas included. According to my wife, putting Oregano just will give it a different taste (she can’t explain it.) I wonder if there is Mexican Oregano, what dishes would you use them in.
We both love watching your shows; I like that you travel and talk to the “Locals”. Then of course your cooking…My wife loves the way you cook, she is from Mexico; I am from California. She says Mexican cuisine is all about the spices; e.g. Garlic, Onion, Chile Peppers, Etc.
A last episode; I saw was you in Jinetes, Sinaloa, it was real nice you among Gente como familia, it touched my for I consider myself more Mexicano que americano. Gracias Pati, Dios te bendiga siempre. Cuídate mucho—te queremos

As a fellow Chef, this seems like a fairly generic recipe. I say that in the best way as it seems as though it could be used for multiple accompaniments, not just for street tacos. I’m going to make up a batch and see how it pairs on enchiladas, tamales, and an enchilada lasagne. My guess is that it will add a little something that will create depth without masking the original flavors of the dish itself.
Pati Jinich
Oct 29
Oh it will go great with so many things, Ben!

Hi Pati,
I made this with fresh items from our garden, everything fresh except for the last three ingredients. I then canned it for later use. Wanted everyone to know, this is a great canning recipe, and I recommend it. I did add some lime juice for added acidity, given the tomatillos but citric acid can be added. I’ve been canning several of your sauce recipes, Pati, and they come out wonderfully. All you need to do is a little research into acidity, etc. to make sure they are safe for canning and don’t need anything like acidity to be added. I’m certainly going to have a hard time finding anything this good in my local grocery stores (live in central PA) so I consider the home-canned Pati Jinich recipes my cooking secret weapons…
