El Charro Salsa Para Tacos


tacos

16 oz can crushed tomatoes
1 cup tomato puree
1 cup water
1/2 each onion; chopped
1/4 cup garlic puree*
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup vinegar
4 teaspoon oregano; or to taste
4 each chiles; crushed

* Garlic Puree - peel 8 whole heads of garlic by smashing the cloves with the side of a wide knife; the peel will slip off easily then. Put the peeled garlic in a blender with about 2 cups of water, and puree. Drain, if necessary, and store in a tightly closed glass jar in the refrigerator. Mix all ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning. Can be served cold or hot.
