Ingredients

• 6 whole Fresh Roma tomatoes
• 2 whole Jalapeño peppers
• 1 medium White onion
• 3 whole Garlic cloves
• 0.5 bunch Fresh cilantro
• 1 whole Lime
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a cast-iron skillet or griddle over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Place the whole Roma tomatoes, jalapeño peppers, and unpeeled garlic cloves onto the skillet. Roast them, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 3

While the vegetables are roasting, peel and roughly chop the white onion and rinse the cilantro. Set aside.

Step 4

Once the vegetables are roasted, remove them from the heat. Peel the garlic cloves and stem the jalapeños (remove seeds for less heat, if desired).

Step 5

Transfer the roasted tomatoes, jalapeños, and garlic to a food processor or blender. Add the chopped onion, cilantro, juice of the lime, salt, ground cumin, and vegetable oil.

Step 6

Pulse until the salsa reaches your desired consistency, either chunky or smooth.

Step 7

Taste and adjust salt or lime juice as needed.

Step 8

Transfer to a serving bowl and let the salsa sit for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 9

Serve with tortilla chips or use as a topping for tacos, burritos, or grilled meats.
