  • 2 fresh chile de arbol peppers, or to taste

  • 3 medium avocados – peeled, pitted, and mashed (one pit reserved)

  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped onion

  • ¼ cup chopped roma tomatoes

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes

  • 1 ½ cups chopped fresh cilantro

  • 2 pinches garlic powder, or to taste

  • salt to taste

  • 1 lime, juiced

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C). Arrange chile peppers on a baking sheet.

  2. Toast chile peppers in the preheated until browned, about 7 minutes. Remove stems.

  3. Mix avocados, onion, and roma tomatoes together in a bowl.
