Notes: Shortcut: You can find canned fire-roasted chiles and tomatoes in most stores now, certainly in mexican stores. You can try Rotel's Diced Chilies and Tomatoes (mild) also, These products when reduced can make a pretty hot sauce, so be careful, you might want to add some plain tomato. Add less salt if using canned tomatoes, chilies. Charring your own peppers is fun and really makes the dish.
