INGREDIENTS
4 roma tomatoes halved lengthwise
1 large yellow onion peeled and sliced into thick rounds
1 cup canola oil or vegetable oil, plus 1 Tablespoon
4 cloves garlic
½ cup packed dried New Mexico or árbol chilies stemmed
⅓ cup water

Preheat broiler to high.
Arrange onion slices and tomatoes (cut side down) on a baking sheet. Broil, about 4-inches from the heating element, for about 10 minutes, until beginning to char.
Meanwhile, heat 1 TBSP oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the chiles and cook 1-2 minutes longer, until fragrant and beginning to darken.
Transfer chiles and garlic to a blender or food processor. Add the water and vinegar, and let sit for 5 minutes to soften.
