The recipe now is very basic in Sonoran cuisine, it is a delicious chiltepín sauce that having it in the refrigerator will always save us from cravings for something spicy to accompany that quesadilla, mollete, sincronizada, sandwich, tacos, tostadas, flautas, gorditas, etc. And I have a double recipe for you in this same post: I will give you the homemade recipe for a sauce with fresh ingredients and a second recipe to make a sauce faster than you can imagine.

For sauce 1: In a pot with 1 ½ cups of water, boil the tomatoes with the onion and garlic for 3 minutes; once you see that you can peel the tomato easily, turn off the heat. Remove the skin from the tomato and blend with the garlic, onion, chiltepines, vinegar, salt, pepper, and apple (if you decided to add it). Adjust seasoning and spiciness.
