Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole Fresh Roma tomatoes
- 2 whole Jalapeño peppers
- 1 medium White onion
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 0.5 bunch Fresh cilantro
- 1 whole Lime
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
Place the whole Roma tomatoes, jalapeño peppers, and unpeeled garlic cloves onto the skillet. Roast them, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered, about 8-10 minutes.
While the vegetables are roasting, peel and roughly chop the white onion and rinse the cilantro. Set aside.
Once the vegetables are roasted, remove them from the heat. Peel the garlic cloves and stem the jalapeños (remove seeds for less heat, if desired).
Transfer the roasted tomatoes, jalapeños, and garlic to a food processor or blender. Add the chopped onion, cilantro, juice of the lime, salt, ground cumin, and vegetable oil.
Pulse until the salsa reaches your desired consistency, either chunky or smooth.
Taste and adjust salt or lime juice as needed.
Transfer to a serving bowl and let the salsa sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve with tortilla chips or use as a topping for tacos, burritos, or grilled meats.
