Ingredients

• 6 whole Roma tomatoes
• 2 whole Jalapeño peppers
• 1 medium White onion
• 3 whole Garlic cloves
• 0.5 cup Cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a grill, stovetop griddle, or broiler to high heat.

Step 2

Coat the Roma tomatoes, jalapeños, and white onion (cut into quarters) lightly with olive oil.

Step 3

Place the vegetables directly on the grill or griddle. Roast for approximately 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the vegetables are charred and softened.

Step 4

Wrap the garlic cloves in a small piece of aluminum foil and place them on the grill or griddle. Cook for 5-6 minutes until softened and aromatic.

Step 5

Remove the vegetables and garlic from the heat. Let them cool slightly before handling.

Step 6

Peel the skins off the roasted tomatoes and jalapeños if they are loose (optional for a smoother texture). Remove the stems from the jalapeños. For less heat, remove the seeds as well.

Step 7

Add the roasted tomatoes, jalapeños, onions, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and cumin to a food processor or blender.

Step 8

Pulse the mixture several times until it reaches your desired consistency, whether smooth or chunky.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lime juice if desired.

Step 10

Transfer the salsa to a bowl and let it rest for at least 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
