What is the name of the salsa made from roasted tomatoes and chilies?

The salsa made from roasted tomatoes and chilies is salsa roja.

Salsa roja means “red sauce” in Spanish and is one of the best-known Mexican table sauces. Its usual base is red tomatoes combined with chili peppers, often alongside onion, garlic, salt, and sometimes cilantro. Roasting the ingredients gives the sauce a smoky, deeper flavor before they are ground together.

Traditional preparation often uses a molcajete, the stone mortar and pestle found in Mexican kitchens, although blenders are common today. The sauce may be served with tacos, tortilla chips, enchiladas, eggs, and many other dishes. Its heat depends on the chilies used, so salsa roja can range from mild to intensely spicy.

A common mix-up is salsa verde, which is generally based on green tomatillos and green chilies. Pico de gallo is different again: it is usually a raw, chopped mixture rather than a roasted and blended sauce. More specifically, a roasted preparation may be called salsa asada, but salsa roja is the standard family name and the intended answer here.
