Preparation:
Toast the chiles directly over a medium gas flame or in a cast-iron skillet until soft and brown, turning frequently to avoid scorching.
Slice the chiles into 1-inch strips, then into a very fine julienne.
Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl, mix well and let sit at least 30 minutes or as long as 2 hours before serving.
Ancho salsa keeps a few days in the refrigerator.
