How to Make Bombero Sauce

  1. Add the chiles, garlic, onion, vinegar, cumin, oregano, and salt to a large saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  3. Carefully transfer the mixture to a blender (be cautious of hot liquids!). Blend on high speed until completely smooth and pureed (approximately 5 minutes).
  4. Heat the oil in the same saucepan over medium heat.
  5. Pour the blended chile mixture back into the saucepan. Cook, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
