- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 whole Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Halve the Roma tomatoes, leaving the skins on, and place them cut side down in the skillet. Add the whole garlic cloves and the peeled and quartered yellow onion.
Drizzle everything with olive oil and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the tomatoes and onions are slightly charred and softened, and the garlic is fragrant.
Allow the roasted vegetables to cool slightly, then transfer them to a blender or food processor.
Add the chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, fresh cilantro, juice of the lime, salt, and sugar to the blender.
Blend the ingredients until smooth or to your preferred texture.
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice if needed.
Pour the salsa into a serving bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld (optional but recommended).
Serve with tortilla chips, or use as a topping for your favorite Mexican dishes.
