1 tablespoon pure chile powder, like ancho or New Mexico, or to taste

Grill, broil, or pan-grill the tomatoes, as close to the heat source as you can get them, until blistered and a little blackened, 5 to 10 minutes.

Put them in a blender, skins and all, with the onion, garlic, chile powder, and a big pinch of salt.

Whiz until chunky, then stir in the cilantro by hand.
