Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Roma tomatoes
- 1 piece Jalapeño pepper
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 0.5 piece Yellow onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
Instructions
In a saucepan, bring water to a boil and add the Roma tomatoes, Jalapeño pepper, and garlic cloves. Let them simmer for 5 minutes or until the tomatoes' skins start to split.
Remove the boiled ingredients from the saucepan and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
Once cooled, carefully peel the skins off the tomatoes and discard the skins.
In a blender, combine the peeled tomatoes, boiled Jalapeño, garlic, half a yellow onion, fresh cilantro, salt, water, and lime juice.
Blend until you achieve your desired texture – blend longer for a smoother salsa or pulse for a chunkier consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt or lime juice if necessary.
Pour the finished salsa into a serving bowl and serve immediately with tortilla chips or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
