Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Roma tomatoes
- 1 medium White onion
- 2 pieces Jalapeño peppers
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cups Cilantro
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Place the Roma tomatoes, white onion (cut into quarters), and jalapeño peppers in the skillet. Drizzle with olive oil and char them, turning occasionally, for 5 minutes or until the skins of the tomatoes and peppers are lightly blackened.
Transfer the charred vegetables to a cutting board. Let them cool slightly before handling.
Peel the skin off the garlic cloves and place them in a food processor or blender.
Roughly chop the charred tomatoes, onion, and jalapeños, and add them to the food processor. For less heat, remove the seeds from the jalapeños before adding.
Add the chopped cilantro, lime juice, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the food processor.
Pulse the mixture several times until you reach your desired consistency. For a chunkier salsa, use fewer pulses; for a smoother version, blend longer.
Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and allow it to sit for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
Serve with tortilla chips, tacos, or your favorite Tex-Mex dishes. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
