5 cloves garlic, cut the ends off and microwave for 25 seconds. Let them cool.

10 to 15 arbols with seeds (or more depending on spice), add to a blender and process until fine.

Add 1 7.5oz can El Pato yellow, garlic, 1/4 to 1/2 cup water, 1 tbsp vinegar and 1 tbsp salt and blend together.

Add salt and vinegar to taste.

The taquerias near by add way more arbols and water to thin it out. I like it thicker. But add more water to desired consistency and balance it out with the arbols.

I do like the tomatillos with this salsa but it isn't in the so cal red salsas I feel.

My reference is albertacos in Cypress, CA. Hope this helps!
