Preparation Instructions
Roast the Ingredients
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the Roma tomatoes, onion (cut into quarters), and jalapeño (whole) on a baking sheet. Roast for about 20 minutes until they are charred and soft.
Blend the Salsa
Remove the roasted vegetables from the oven and let them cool slightly. In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, garlic cloves, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth or to your desired consistency.
Taste and Adjust
Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, lime juice, or jalapeño as needed for spiciness.
Serve
Transfer the salsa to a bowl and serve with tortilla chips or as a condiment for your favorite dishes.
