The ingredients for Grilled Red Salsa are:

4 plum (Roma) tomatoes
20 chile arbol (the ingredient list says 14 grams, but I find it easier to just count out the chilies). Chile Arbol is a dried, skinny, red chile. You can find it online, in specialty Mexican stores and I've even found them at Wal-Mart.
2 garlic cloves
Salt to taste

Note: For a less spicy salsa, cut down the number of chilies. For a spicier salsa, increase the chilies.

Here is how you make Grilled Red Salsa:

1) Grill/roast the tomatoes. Place the tomatoes in a frying pan or on a comal. Cook until they are slightly mushy, turning frequently. Don't worry if the skin of the tomatoes burn, it's what gives it a smoky/grilled flavor. Remove from heat.For easy clean up, line the frying pan or comal with aluminum foil. 2) Grill/roast the chiliesAfter the tomatoes have grilled, grill the chilies. Be careful not to burn the chilies. The chilies should heat up and darken a bit in color, but should not burn. Move the chilies almost constantly while grilling.3) Blend in a blenderPut the garlic cloves and the salt in the blender. Then add the chilies. Blend together, about 20 seconds. Then add the tomatoes. Blend. If you like your salsa chunky, blend less. If you like your salsa more uniform, blend more.Taste to see if more salt is needed.This recipe makes about 700 milliliters of salsa. The quantity varies based on the number of chilies and the size of the tomatoes.Number of Servings: 10Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user LAURABA64.
