Preheat a grill or broiler on high heat.
Lightly brush the Roma tomatoes, white onion (cut in quarters), and jalapeño peppers with olive oil to prevent sticking while roasting.
Place the tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, and garlic cloves on the grill or under the broiler. Roast for about 5-10 minutes, turning occasionally until the vegetables are slightly charred and softened. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Carefully remove the stems from the jalapeños. For a milder salsa, scrape out the seeds. Keep the seeds if you prefer more heat.
Transfer the roasted vegetables (including their charred skins) to a food processor or blender. Add the cilantro, juice of one lime, salt, and black pepper.
Pulse the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency (chunky or smooth). Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed.
Transfer to a bowl and let the flavors meld for at least 15 minutes before serving.
Serve with tortilla chips, tacos, or use as a topping for grilled meats or vegetables. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
