Guacatillo Sauce

When I was in California last fall, and after spending a few hours shopping in the L.A. Fabric District, I was quite hungry.  So, I plucked up my courage, and for the first time in my life I ate food from a street vendor.  They have small, push carts, parked along the sides of the streets, and cook your food right there.  It always smell so delicious, but I’ve never been brave enough, or at least hungry enough to try.  I ordered a chicken quesadilla, and it was served with sauteed onions, salsa, and guacatillo sauce.  I’d never had guacatillo sauce before, and I was pleasantly surprised at its fresh deliciousness!
So, I went online and found a recipe here. Assembled my ingredients and made a batch. 



If you make this recipe, I would add that you need to let the flavors meld for a bit, preferably overnight.  It tasted nearly exactly like the batch I had in California, and I will definitely make it again.  Everyone loved it!
