Salsa Roja (Mexican Red Sauce)

Yum! I'll be refining this sauce over time, but here's the one in this video:

Chop tomato, red bell pepper, garlic, white onion and chili peppers of your choice: poblano, serrano (as here) or jalapeno recommended. Grill or roast above 375 degrees until just charred around the edge.
Place ingredients in blender, be careful to remember the ingredients may be hot. For safety, do not use a blender that has an airtight seal at the top. Add sea salt, cilantro and enough water so the mixture can blend until smooth.
Optional: Squeeze a slice of lime or lemon into the sauce.

My family likes to smother our burritos with this - and it goes well with many other dishes.

Leftover sauce should be stored in a refrigerator.
