Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Roma tomatoes
- 2 pieces jalapeño peppers
- 1 medium white onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 cups fresh cilantro
- 1 piece lime
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Wash and dry the tomatoes and jalapeño peppers. Peel the onion and cut it into quarters.
Place the tomatoes, jalapeños, onion quarters, and unpeeled garlic cloves into the skillet. Cook, turning occasionally, until everything is charred and softened, about 10-12 minutes.
Remove from heat and let the vegetables cool slightly. Peel the garlic cloves once they are cool enough to handle.
Transfer the charred tomatoes, jalapeños, onion, and garlic to a blender or food processor. Add the cilantro, salt, and cumin.
Juice the lime and add the lime juice to the blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth or reaches your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt or lime juice as required.
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and serve warm or allow it to cool to room temperature. Enjoy with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, eggs, or grilled meats.
