Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Roma tomatoes
- 2 medium Jalapeño peppers
- 1 small Red onion
- 2 large Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cups Cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Pepper
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Place the Roma tomatoes, jalapeño peppers, and unpeeled garlic cloves directly onto the hot skillet or grill. Roast for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables develop char marks and soften slightly.
Remove the roasted ingredients from the heat. Peel the garlic once it has cooled enough to handle.
Roughly chop the tomatoes, jalapeños, and peeled garlic. For a less spicy salsa, remove the seeds from the jalapeños before chopping.
Peel and dice the red onion into small pieces.
In a food processor or blender, combine the roasted vegetables, diced red onion, cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Pulse the mixture a few times until it reaches your desired consistency. For a chunkier salsa, pulse lightly; for a smoother salsa, blend more thoroughly.
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning with additional salt or lime juice, if needed.
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl, cover, and let rest for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve with tortilla chips, tacos, or your favorite dish, and enjoy!
