Ingredients

• 6 Roma tomatoes
• 3 Habanero peppers
• 2 Jalapeño peppers
• 3 Garlic cloves
• 1 White onion
• 0.5 cups Fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven's broiler or set a grill to high heat.

Step 2

Place the Roma tomatoes, habanero peppers, jalapeño peppers, garlic cloves (with peel on), and quartered onion on a baking sheet or grill. Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.

Step 3

Broil or grill the vegetables for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are charred and softened. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning; you want a smoky char, not ash.

Step 4

Remove the vegetables from the heat. When cool enough to handle, peel the garlic and remove the stems from the peppers (you can also remove the seeds if you'd like to reduce the heat, but for true 'daredevil' salsa, leave them in).

Step 5

In a blender or food processor, add the charred vegetables, fresh cilantro, lime juice, smoked paprika, cumin, and salt.

Step 6

Pulse the ingredients until you achieve your desired salsa consistency. For a chunkier salsa, pulse only a few times; for a smoother salsa, blend longer.

Step 7

Taste the salsa and adjust seasonings as needed. If you’d like more acidity, add a bit more lime juice; for additional heat, stir in a pinch of cayenne pepper.

Step 8

Transfer the salsa to a serving dish and let it rest for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 9

Serve with tortilla chips, tacos, or any dish that could use a spicy kick. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
