Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Roma tomatoes
- 1 medium-sized Red onion
- 2 pieces Jalapeño peppers
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 pieces Lime
- 0.5 cups Fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Tequila (silver or blanco)
- 1 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoons Sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven's broiler or set a grill pan to high heat.
Slice the Roma tomatoes in half lengthwise and cut the jalapeños in half, removing seeds if you prefer a milder salsa. Peel the red onion and cut it into quarters.
Place the tomatoes (cut side down), red onion, jalapeños, and garlic cloves on a baking sheet or grill pan. Drizzle with olive oil to lightly coat the vegetables.
Broil or grill the vegetables for 4-5 minutes, or until the skins of the tomatoes start to char and blister. Turn the jalapeños and onion halfway through for even charring. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Once cooled, peel the skins off the tomatoes and place them in a blender or food processor. Add the grilled onion, jalapeños, and garlic.
Squeeze the juice of the lime into the blender. Add the cilantro, tequila, salt, cumin, and sugar.
Pulse the mixture until it reaches your desired salsa consistency—chunky or smooth.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice if needed.
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve with tortilla chips or your favorite Mexican dishes. Enjoy your Partytime Tequila Salsa!
