Step 1
Roughly chop the 4 tomatoes and 2 red chili peppers (remove seeds for less heat). Peel the 2 garlic cloves.
Step 2
In a blender, combine the chopped tomatoes, chilies, garlic, juice of 1 lime, and 0.5 teaspoon salt. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds.
Step 3
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Pour in the blended sauce and cook, stirring, until it thickens slightly and darkens in color, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Taste and adjust salt or lime juice if needed. Serve warm or at room temperature.
