Method

Salsa Preparation

  1. 1

    Roasting the Vegetables

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the jalapeños, tomatoes, red onion, and garlic on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Roast for about 25-30 minutes, or until the vegetables are charred and softened.

  2. 2

    Blending the Salsa

    Allow the roasted vegetables to cool slightly. Transfer them to a blender or food processor. Add lime juice and cilantro. Blend until you reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or black pepper if needed.

Tostados Preparation

  1. 3

    Frying the Tortillas

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry each corn tortilla for about 1-2 minutes on each side until they are golden and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
