Step 1
Preheat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat.

Juice the lime and add the fresh lime juice to the mixture in the food processor.

Sprinkle in the salt, ground cumin, and sugar, then drizzle in the olive oil.
Step 8
Pulse the food processor a few times until the salsa reaches your desired consistency—you can make it chunky or smooth depending on your preference.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice as needed.
Step 10
Transfer the salsa to a bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
