Ingredients

• 6 whole Roma tomatoes
• 2 whole jalapeños
• 1 whole serrano peppers
• 1 medium white onion
• 3 whole garlic cloves
• 1 bunch cilantro
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1.5 teaspoons sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon water (if needed)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Place the Roma tomatoes, jalapeños, serrano pepper, and white onion (quartered) onto the skillet. Allow them to char on each side for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally until the skins are blistered and slightly blackened. Remove and set aside.

Step 3

Add the garlic cloves (unpeeled) to the skillet and char lightly for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Remove the skins once cooled.

Step 4

In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted tomatoes, peppers (remove seeds for a milder salsa), onion, and garlic.

Step 5

Add the cilantro (stems removed), lime juice, smoked paprika, ground cumin, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Blend the mixture to your desired consistency. For a chunkier salsa, pulse a few times. For a smoother salsa, blend fully. Add a tablespoon of water if the salsa seems too thick.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, lime juice, or paprika as desired.

Step 8

Transfer the salsa to a bowl and let it cool to room temperature. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together, though it can also be served immediately.

Step 9

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