EL TORITO CILANTRO AND PEPITA SALAD DRESSING

El Torito Cilantro and Pepita Salad Dressing image

I love this dressing at El Torito. I could sit there and just eat it with a spoon. I found this copy-cat recipe and I wanted to post it so I can make it myself, and secretly eat it straight from the jar :-)

To a saute pan over medium heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot (not smoking), add the seeds. Let them sizzle in the oil 3 to 4 minutes. They should be fragrant.
Add the garlic and achiote paste. Cook an addition 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Don't burn the garlic! Reduce heat if necessary.
Turn off the heat, then add the Mexican oregano, sherry vinegar, chipotle and adobo, and a few grinds of sea salt and fresh ground pepper. Allow the mixture to completely cool.
Pour into a food processor or blender; pulse it to desired consistency. (We like it pretty coarsely chopped).

To make the salsa macha, add 1/2 cup oil to pan, and heat it on medium heat. Add chiles and let toast, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Add garlic and saute for 30 seconds longer.
Remove chiles and garlic from pan to the bowl of a food processor or blender (reserve the oil back in the pan). Add pumpkin seeds to pan. Lower heat to medium low and toast seeds, stirring, until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Add sesame seeds and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat.
Transfer pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds, along with oil, to blender with chiles and garlic, adding vinegar and salt. Pulse several times until the salsa is processed and well combined, but still retaining some texture - you are not trying to process it into a puree.
