1
Set a skillet or griddle over medium high heat and toast the dried red and ancho chiles (without any liquid), turning a few times until they are flexible and lightly colored (do not scorch); depending on your stove it may take anywhere from 1 minute to 5 minutes.

6
Drain the chile pieces, reserving about 3 tablespoons of the soaking water.
7
Preheat the broiler.

In a shallow pan, broil the tomatoes, turning them once, 15-20 minutes; the peels should be blackened.
9
Remove from broiler and cool slightly.
10
Core (but DON'T peel) tomatoes and coarsely chop them.

In a blender or food processor, combine all ingredients BUT the cilantro, including tomato peels and chile pieces with their reserved water.
