Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Char the Vegetables

    Preheat a grill or a grill pan over medium-high heat. Place the Roma tomatoes, tomatillos, and serrano peppers on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until the tomatoes and tomatillos are charred and softened.

  2. 2

    Prep the Garlic

    While the vegetables are grilling, peel the garlic cloves. You can leave them whole for roasting or mince them if you prefer a stronger garlic flavor.

  3. 3

    Chop the Onion and Cilantro

    Finely chop the red onion and fresh cilantro. Set them aside for later use.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the tomatoes, tomatillos, and serrano peppers are charred, remove them from the grill and let them cool slightly. In a mixing bowl, combine the grilled vegetables, minced garlic, chopped onion, and cilantro.

  5. 5

    Season the Salsa

    Add lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

  6. 6

    Taste and Adjust

    Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, lime juice, or pepper to your liking.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl or jar. Enjoy it fresh with tortilla chips, tacos, or as a topping for your favorite dishes.
