Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Roma tomatoes
- 3 whole Garlic cloves
- 0.5 whole White onion
- 2 whole Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Place the Roma tomatoes, unpeeled garlic cloves, and onion half on the preheated skillet. Char them until the skins on the tomatoes are blistered, turning occasionally (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat.
Peel the charred skins off the garlic and roughly chop the onion.
Transfer the charred tomatoes, peeled garlic, and chopped onion into a blender or food processor.
Add the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, fresh cilantro, lime juice, salt, and ground cumin to the blender.
Blend on high until the mixture is smooth or slightly chunky, depending on your preference.
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt or lime juice.
Heat a small skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Pour in the blended salsa and simmer for 3-4 minutes to develop the flavors.
Remove from heat and allow the salsa to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature with tortilla chips, tacos, or your favorite main dish.
