Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Jalapeño peppers
- 3 medium Tomatoes
- 0.5 whole Red onion
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup Cilantro
- 1 whole Lime
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Halve the jalapeño peppers and remove the seeds if you prefer less heat. Leave the seeds for a spicier salsa.
Place the jalapeños, tomatoes, and garlic cloves in the skillet. Roast them for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are charred and softened.
Remove the roasted ingredients from the skillet and let them cool slightly.
Roughly chop the red onion and cilantro while the roasted ingredients cool.
Add the roasted jalapeños, tomatoes, garlic, red onion, and cilantro to a blender or food processor.
Juice the lime and add the juice to the blender, along with olive oil and salt.
Pulse the mixture until you reach your desired salsa consistency (chunky or smooth).
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lime juice to taste.
Serve immediately with chips or as a condiment, or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
