Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 5 whole Roma tomatoes
- 2 whole jalapeño peppers
- 1 medium white onion
- 4 cloves garlic
- 0.5 cups cilantro
- 1 whole lime
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
Place the Roma tomatoes, jalapeño peppers, and unpeeled garlic cloves onto the prepared sheet. Halve the white onion and place it cut-side down on the sheet as well.
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables, ensuring they are lightly coated.
Place the baking sheet under the broiler and roast for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally with tongs, until the tomatoes and peppers are blistered and slightly charred, and the onion and garlic are soft.
Remove the vegetables from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Peel the garlic cloves and remove the stems from the jalapeños. For less heat, remove the seeds from the jalapeños.
In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted vegetables, cilantro, salt, and the juice of 1 lime. Pulse until the salsa reaches your desired consistency, whether chunky or smooth.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice if needed.
Transfer the salsa to a bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, grilled meats, or any of your favorite dishes.
