Ingredients
 

  • 1 fresh Anaheim chile
  • 3 Tablespoons pumpkin seeds
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 3 Tablespoons Cotija Cheese
  • 1 Tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1 Tablespoon lime juice
  • cup grapeseed oil
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ bunch fresh cilantro no stems
  • 2 Tablespoons mayonnaise

Instructions
 

  • Place the chile on a broiler pan and place the pan under the broiler until the chile is charred. Turn the chile over and char the other side.
  • Place the chile in a bowl, cover the bowl, and allow the chile to steam for about 10 minutes.
  • Remove stem, skin, and seeds from chile.
  • Toast pumpkin seeds: heat a small skillet over medium-low heat and add pumpkin seeds. Heat seeds until they are lightly toasted, shaking the pan occasionally to toast seeds on both sides.
  • Place chile, pumpkin seeds, garlic, cheese, vinegar, lime juice, oil, salt, and pepper in a food processor and blend until pieces of pumpkin seeds can no longer be seen. Add cilantro and blend until cilantro becomes small flecks.
  • Add mayonnaise and blend until combined.
  • Scrape into a bowl and whisk in 1 tablespoon of water. Add more water if you want the dressing thinner.
  • Taste and add salt if needed.
