Salsa Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Roasting the Vegetables

    Preheat your grill or broiler to a high heat. Cut the Roma tomatoes in half and place them cut-side down on the grill. Add the red onion, jalapeño, and garlic (in their skins) to the grill. Roast for about 10-15 minutes until the tomatoes are charred and the skins of the other vegetables are blistered.

  2. 2

    Cooling and Peeling

    Remove the vegetables from the grill and let them cool for a few minutes. Peel the garlic cloves and the skin of the jalapeño (if desired). Remove the seeds from the jalapeño for less heat, if preferred.

  3. 3

    Blending the Salsa

    In a food processor, combine the roasted tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, garlic, fresh cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until you reach your desired consistency, whether chunky or smooth.

  4. 4

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning with more salt, lime juice, or black pepper as needed.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and enjoy with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite dishes.
