Using a knife, score an “X” on the bottom of each tomato (this allows easy peeling).
Place the tomatoes and garlic cloves (skin-on) on a foil-lined baking sheet, and Broil on High (a few inches from the heat source) for about 5 minutes.
Remove the garlic cloves, flip the tomatoes and broil 5 more minutes.
Meanwhile, heat a skillet on medium-high. Toast the chiles de arbol for about 1-2 minutes, mixing constantly, until slightly browned. (Careful to not burn, they cook fast!)
Place the chile de arbol in a sauce pan with about 2 cups of boiled water. Cover and let soak for 20 minutes.
Peel the tomatoes and the garlic and add them to a High-Powered Blender. Add the rest of the ingredients: apple cider vinegar, oregano, salt, reserved water, and serrano peppers (if using).
Blend until smooth (1-2 minutes). You can add in more water if you would like a thinner consistency.
Store in an air-tight jar or container, and keep in the fridge until ready to use.
