This spicy Mexican salsa with chile de árbol peppers is perfect for any Mexican dish, including tacos, burritos, or simply fried eggs and grilled meats. A very versatile addition for those who love spicy food, the salsa is made with grilled tomatoes. Ideally, it's best to grill on a charcoal grill to impart a unique smoky flavor, but you can also use an electric grill or even a grill pan. After mixing all the ingredients, let the sauce sit for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld.

• 4 dried arbol chili peppers, stems removed
• 450 g plum tomatoes, halved
• Half a white onion, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
