Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole Roma tomatoes
- 2 whole jalapeños
- 1 whole serrano peppers
- 1 medium white onion
- 3 whole garlic cloves
- 1 bunch cilantro
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon water (if needed)
Instructions
Preheat a cast iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
Place the Roma tomatoes, jalapeños, serrano pepper, and white onion (quartered) onto the skillet. Allow them to char on each side for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally until the skins are blistered and slightly blackened. Remove and set aside.
Add the garlic cloves (unpeeled) to the skillet and char lightly for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Remove the skins once cooled.
In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted tomatoes, peppers (remove seeds for a milder salsa), onion, and garlic.
Add the cilantro (stems removed), lime juice, smoked paprika, ground cumin, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture to your desired consistency. For a chunkier salsa, pulse a few times. For a smoother salsa, blend fully. Add a tablespoon of water if the salsa seems too thick.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, lime juice, or paprika as desired.
Transfer the salsa to a bowl and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together, though it can also be served immediately.
Serve with tortilla chips, as a topping for tacos or burritos, or as a marinade for grilled meats.
