Method
Preparation
Prepare the Peppers
Remove the stems and seeds from the dried guajillo, arbol, and pasilla peppers. Rinse them under cold water to clean.
Soak the Peppers
In a medium bowl, soak the cleaned peppers in hot water for about 30 minutes until they are soft.
Blending
Blend Ingredients
In a blender, combine the soaked peppers, garlic cloves, lemon juice, salt, vinegar, and water. Blend until smooth and the mixture has a rich, thick consistency.
Adjust Consistency
If the mixture is too thick, add more water, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
