Smoked Salsa Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Grill

   Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat. If using a smoker, prepare it according to the manufacturer's instructions.

   Smoke the Tomatoes

   Place the Roma tomatoes and the whole jalapeño on the grill. Close the lid and smoke for about 20-25 minutes until they are charred and soft.

   Once the tomatoes and jalapeño are smoked, remove them from the grill. In a blender, combine smoked tomatoes, sautéed onions, cilantro, lime juice, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Blend until you reach your desired consistency.
