Roast the Chiles & Tomatillos: Heat a comal or cast iron skillet over medium-high. Place the manzano chiles and tomatillos directly on the surface. Roast, turning occasionally, until blackened and tender (about 15–18 minutes). Remove from heat, stem the chiles, and set aside.
Sauté the Onion & Garlic: In a sauté pan, add oil, onion, and garlic. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until just starting to turn golden. Add in the manzano chiles and continue cooking until everything is deeply golden and tender. Add the roasted tomatillos and remove from heat. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Blend Until Creamy: Transfer the mixture to a blender. Add lime juice, mandarin juice, and salt. Blend on high until creamy and smooth. Let cool slightly, then stir in the chopped cilantro. Adjust seasoning with more salt if needed. If too thick, thin out with a splash of water.
