📝 Preparation Steps
1
Heat a large cast iron skillet or comal over very high heat. Once the pan is smoking hot, place the chilis on in a single layer (work in batches) and toast for a few seconds on each side. The chilis should turn bright red and become pliable, but be careful not to let them burn. It can happen in a matter of seconds and will turn the chilis bitter.
2
Transfer the chilis to a bowl and cover with about 2 cups of boiling water, or more as needed. Set aside and allow to soak for at least ten minutes.

3
While the chilis are soaking, place the garlic cloves and whole piece of onion on the hot skillet, and turn until charred on all sides, about ⏱️ 8 minutes. Allow the garlic to cool, then remove the skins.

Transfer the garlic, onion, chilis, about half of the water, vinegar and salt to a blender.
