Start by soaking 8 dried morita chiles in water.

Place tomatillos on a griddle to roast.

Roast the morita chiles alongside the tomatillos for added flavor.

Once roasted, place the tomatillos in a bowl.

Put the roasted chiles in a plastic bag to sweat for easier peeling.

After sweating, peel the roasted chiles using gloves to avoid the heat.

Add 1 tomato, diced, to the bowl with the tomatillos.

Add 8 cloves of minced garlic to the bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon of salt to the mixture.

Mix everything together and include any juice from the bag of sweating chiles.

Transfer the salsa to jars for storage.
