Ingredients
- 4 whole Roma tomatoes
- 2 whole Jalapeño peppers
- 1 medium Yellow onion
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cup Cilantro, fresh
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven's broiler or set up a grill on medium-high heat.
Step 2
Place the Roma tomatoes, jalapeño peppers, yellow onion (quartered), and unpeeled garlic cloves on a baking sheet or grill pan.
Step 3
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and ensure they are lightly coated.
Step 4
Broil or grill the vegetables for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are charred and softened. The garlic should be removed earlier if it starts to brown too quickly.
Step 5
Once the vegetables are cool to handle, peel the skin off the garlic cloves and the jalapeños (optional if you prefer less heat, also de-seed the jalapeños at this stage).
Step 6
Add the roasted vegetables, cilantro, lime juice, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and pepper to a blender or food processor.
Step 7
Pulse the ingredients until the salsa reaches your desired consistency (chunky or smooth). Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 8
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and let it sit for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 9
Serve with tortilla chips, or use as a topping for your favorite dishes. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
