  • 1 tomato
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 small piece of onion
  • 1 dried guajillo chili (stemmed and seeded)
  • 3 dried puya chilis (stemmed and seeded)

All Purpose
Directions
  1. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the tomato, garlic, and onion. Sauté until lightly golden.
  3. Toss in the guajillo, puya, and árbol chilis. Cook for just 30 seconds, stirring constantly so they don’t burn.
  4. Transfer everything to a blender. Add the Maggi seasoning, grill seasoning, salt, pepper, and ½ cup water. Blend until smooth.
  5. Brush the sauce onto both sides of the tilapia fillets. Let them rest for 5 minutes.
  6. In the same skillet, melt the butter. Place the tilapia fillets in the pan and cook for 5 minutes per side, until the fish is fully cooked and flakes easily.
  7. Serve hot with white rice, steamed vegetables, or your favorite sides.
