1
Char the Vegetables
Preheat your grill or a grill pan over high heat. Place the jalapeños and the onion on the grill. Cook until charred, turning occasionally, about 10-15 minutes.
2
Chop the Ingredients
Once the jalapeños and onion are charred, remove them from the grill. Let them cool slightly, then chop them into small pieces.
3
Prepare the Tomatoes
While the jalapeños and onion are cooling, chop the Roma tomatoes into small cubes.
4
Mince the Garlic
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.
5
Chop the Cilantro
Rinse the cilantro under cold water, shake off excess water, and chop it roughly.

6
Combine the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped charred jalapeños, onion, diced tomatoes, minced garlic, and chopped cilantro.
7
Season the Salsa
Add salt, black pepper, and the juice of the lime to the bowl. Mix everything well until combined.

8
Serve
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and enjoy with tortilla chips, tacos, or your favorite dish!
