- Toast the chilies: Remove stems and seeds from the Guajillo chilies. Heat a dry pan over medium heat and toast them for about 30 seconds per side until fragrant.

- Char the vegetables: In the same pan, cook the tomatoes, onion, and garlic until slightly blackened.
- Blend the salsa: In a blender, combine the softened chilies, charred vegetables, lime juice, cumin, oregano, and salt. Blend until smooth, adding some of the chili soaking water to reach the desired consistency.
- Taste and adjust: Add more salt or lime juice if needed. Serve with tacos, grilled meats, or as a dip!
