  • 8 ancho chiles
  • 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
  • 1/2 cup golden tequila
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup crumbled anejo or feta cheese

Directions

  1. 1
    Cook the chiles in a dry saute pan over high heat, turning them constantly, for 2 minutes, or until slightly toasted. Halve and seed the chiles. Tear them into small pieces and transfer the pieces to a blender.

    Add the orange juice, tequila, garlic, and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil to the blender. Puree until the salsa is nearly smooth.

    Serve the salsa topped with the crumbled anejo cheese.
