Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium tomatoes
- 2 whole green chilies
- 1 small red onion
- 2 whole garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup cilantro leaves
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.
Add the tomatoes, green chilies, and garlic cloves to the skillet. Lightly char them on all sides for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally. This will enhance their flavor.
Transfer the charred vegetables to a cutting board and allow them to cool slightly.
Finely dice the red onion and set it aside.
Remove the stems from the green chilies and, if you prefer less heat, remove the seeds. Dice the chilies.
Roughly chop the charred tomatoes and garlic.
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced onion, green chilies, chopped tomatoes, and garlic.
Finely chop the cilantro leaves and add them to the bowl.
Pour in the lime juice and olive oil, then sprinkle in the salt and ground cumin. Stir everything together well to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. For more heat, add another diced green chili or a pinch of chili powder.
Serve immediately with tortilla chips, tacos, or as a topping. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
