- Spread tomatoes out on a baking sheet or stone and place in oven for 30 minutes. When done, set aside to cool.
- Remove stems from chiles.
- In the Molcajete, add salt, garlic, and chiles. Begin pounding and grinding the chiles and garlic into a fine paste.
- Start adding tomatoes to the mix a few at a time, continuing to grind.
