First, let’s wash and sanitize the vegetables. We’ll remove the seeds from the mirasol peppers and then wash them.

Fill a pot halfway with water and add the tomatoes, chili peppers, onion, and 1 clove of garlic. Then let it boil for about 10 minutes over medium heat; halfway through, add the mirasol chili peppers to the pot.
- 3. Make the tortilla chips
First, pour a generous amount of oil into a skillet and let it heat over medium heat. Meanwhile, cut the cold tortillas into squares and then fry them in the hot oil until they’re golden brown but not burnt. Then remove them and place them on paper towels.

Once the vegetables have boiled, pour them into the blender along with the cooking water until the blender is half full. Add the Knorr Suiza and 1 clove of garlic, then blend until the mixture reaches the consistency of a sauce.
