Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Roma tomatoes
- 2 medium Jalapeño peppers
- 0.5 medium White onion
- 0.5 cup (chopped) Fresh cilantro
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.25 cup (optional) Water
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. No oil is needed for this step.
Place the Roma tomatoes, jalapeño peppers, and garlic cloves on the skillet. Roast them, turning occasionally, until they are charred in spots and softened (approximately 8–10 minutes).
While the vegetables roast, finely chop the white onion and cilantro. Set aside.
Once charred, transfer the roasted tomatoes, jalapeños, and garlic to a blender or food processor.
Add the salt and lime juice to the blender. For a slightly thinner consistency, add the optional water.
Blend the mixture to your desired texture. For a chunky salsa, pulse briefly. For a smoother salsa, blend longer.
Transfer the blended salsa to a bowl and stir in the chopped onion and cilantro.
Taste the salsa and adjust the salt or lime juice as needed.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 5 days in an airtight container.
