4-6 cloves of garlic, smashed

Preparation
Toss the roughly chopped tomato, onion, garlic and jalapeño in a bowl with the grape seed oil and a few pinches of salt. Broil on high until the vegetables have softened and are charred on the outside, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer the vegetables to a blender with the cilantro, lime juice, rehydrated ancho chilis and reserved chili water. Blend on high, adding more or less chili water depending on the consistency you are aiming for. Season with salt as desired.
Add the stale tortilla chips to a large bowl. Pour the roasted salsa over the tortilla chips and mix thoroughly. Top with your favorite garnishes, including, but not limited to, smoked mussels, avocado, cilantro leaves, sliced green onions, sour cream or yogurt, and cotija cheese.
