Wash and dry all fresh ingredients: jalapenos, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, and garlic.
Slice the jalapenos in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for a milder flavor, or leave them in for extra spice.
Roughly chop the tomatoes, half onion, and cilantro into smaller pieces for easier blending.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and drizzle with 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Add the jalapenos, tomatoes, onion, and garlic to the skillet and roast them for 5 minutes until slightly charred and softened.
Transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender or food processor.
Add the chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt to the blender.
Blend the mixture on pulse mode for a chunky texture or on medium speed for a smoother consistency. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Chill the salsa in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
Serve with tortilla chips, tacos, or as a topping for your favorite dishes. Enjoy!
