This authentic salsa de chilli morita is a versatile vegan condiment that brings a deep, smoky complexity to any Mexican-inspired feast. The morita chilli, a variety of dried and smoked jalapeño, provides a rich fruitiness and a moderate heat that develops beautifully when blended with charred tomatoes. It is a vibrant, savoury addition to your kitchen repertoire, offering a much more sophisticated flavour profile than standard shop-bought alternatives.
Preparing this salsa is remarkably simple, making it an excellent choice for a weekend taco night or as a healthy dip for homemade tortilla chips. By charring the onion and garlic in their skins, you lock in their natural sweetness while adding a hint of bitterness that balances the vinegary tang and sugar. This recipe can be made up to five days in advance, allowing the flavours to meld and intensify in the fridge.

Ingredients for Salsa de Chilli Morita
6 morita chillies, seeds removed
450g plum tomatoes
1 small onion, unpeeled, halved through root
3 garlic cloves, unpeeled
45ml olive oil
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
Kosher salt
How to make Salsa de Chilli Morita
Soak chillies in a bowl of very hot water until softened, 20-25 minutes. Drain and transfer to a blender.
Meanwhile, cook tomatoes, onion, and garlic in a dry large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium-high, turning often, until softened and charred in spots, 5-8 minutes. Set onion and garlic aside; transfer tomatoes to blender.
Once cool enough to handle, peel onion and garlic and place in blender along with oil, vinegar, and sugar. Blend until smooth. Season with salt.
Do ahead: Salsa can be made 5 days ahead. Cover and chill.
