In batches, we’re going to fry up all of the dried Chiles. Start with the ancho & Pasilla Chiles, fry for 30-45 seconds per side. Drain and place on a paper plate. Next fry up the guajillo & Puya Chiles, for 30-45 seconds, drain and set on paper plate. Lastly, fry the Chiles de arbol for 30-45 seconds, be careful not to let them burn, remove and set onto paper plate.

¼ cup pumpkin seeds

Step 7

To a food processor, add the tortilla, Chiles, garlic & onion, pulse 4-5 times, getting a coarse mixture, kind of like crushed red pepper flakes.

Step 8

Add the the remaining oil & nuts to the food processor, along with the salt and oregano & pulse 4-5 more times. You can go longer if you want more of a saucier consistency.

1 tbsp salt

1 tsp oregano
