Step 1
Heat a skillet over medium-high until smoking slightly. Toast pasilla chiles 30 seconds per side — they'll smell rich and smoky.
Step 2
Add tomatoes and garlic to the same skillet. Let them char undisturbed, shaking occasionally, until blackened spots cover all sides, 4–5 minutes.
Step 3
Transfer chiles, tomatoes, and garlic to a blender or food processor.
Step 4
Add lime juice and salt. Blend until completely smooth, scraping the sides as needed, about 1 minute.
Step 5
Pour into a serving bowl. Taste and adjust salt or lime to your preference.
