Ingredients
- 6 whole Roma tomatoes
- 2 whole Jalapeño peppers
- 1 small Red onion
- 2 whole Garlic cloves
- 0.5 cups Cilantro
- 1 whole Lime
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Cumin powder
- 1 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Slice the Roma tomatoes and jalapeños in half lengthwise. Arrange them cut-side down on a baking sheet along with the garlic cloves (unpeeled).
Step 3
Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and roast in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until the tomato skins are slightly charred and the garlic is fragrant.
Step 4
Remove the vegetables from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Peel the garlic cloves and transfer them along with the tomatoes and jalapeños to a blender or food processor.
Step 5
Peel and roughly chop the red onion. Add it to the blender, along with the cilantro leaves, juice of the lime, salt, black pepper, and cumin powder.
Step 6
Pulse the blender several times to achieve the desired texture. For a chunky salsa, blend lightly; for a smoother salsa, blend more thoroughly.
Step 7
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary by adding additional salt or lime juice.
Step 8
Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl or an airtight container. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld together.
Step 9
Serve with tortilla chips or as a topping for tacos, grilled meat, or eggs. Enjoy!
