Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; place chile peppers onto the foil.

Step 2

Cook under the preheated broiler until pepper skins have blackened and blistered, 5 to 8 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a bowl and tightly seal with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins.

Step 3

Blend roasted chile peppers, both types of diced tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and garlic powder in a food processor or blender until desired consistency is reached.
