Ingredients

• 6 pcs Roma tomatoes
• 2 pcs Jalapeño peppers
• 1 pcs White onion
• 2 pcs Garlic cloves
• 1 cup Fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

1. Preheat a dry skillet or griddle over medium heat.

Step 2

2. Add the Roma tomatoes, jalapeño peppers, and whole garlic cloves to the skillet. Char them, turning occasionally, until the skin on the tomatoes is blistered, and the peppers and garlic have a nice roasted appearance. This should take about 5 minutes.

Step 3

3. Once charred, remove the skillet from heat and let the ingredients cool slightly.

Step 4

4. Peel the garlic cloves and place them into a blender or food processor.

Step 5

5. Roughly chop the roasted tomatoes and jalapeños, and add them to the blender. You can adjust the heat level by removing the seeds from the jalapeños.

Step 6

6. Dice the white onion and add it to the blender along with the fresh cilantro.

Step 7

7. Add the salt, fresh lime juice, and water to the blender.

Step 8

8. Blend until the salsa reaches your desired consistency. For a smoother salsa, blend longer; for a chunkier salsa, pulse the blender a few times.

Step 9

9. Taste the salsa and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice as needed.

Step 10

10. Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and let it rest for at least 10 minutes for the flavors to meld together. Serve fresh or refrigerate for later use.
