Let's Get Started

  1. Remove the stems and seeds from the pasilla chiles. Toast them in a dry pan over medium heat until they become fragrant, then soak in hot water for 15 minutes.
  2. While the chiles are soaking, roast the tomatoes in a pan until their skins start to blister and blacken.
  3. In a blender, combine the soaked chiles, roasted tomatoes, garlic, onion, and beer. Blend until smooth.
  4. Pour the salsa into a pan and simmer over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
  5. Season with salt to taste, then stir in the chopped cilantro.
  6. Serve warm or at room temperature. This salsa is perfect for drizzling over grilled meats or scooping up with tortilla chips.
