• 1 medium White onion
• 0.5 cups Fresh cilantro
• 1 large Lime
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Cumin
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Roast the tomatoes and garlic cloves on a dry skillet over medium heat for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins are blistered and the garlic is lightly browned. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 2

While the tomatoes and garlic are roasting, roughly chop the onion and fresh cilantro.

Step 3

In a blender or food processor, add the roasted tomatoes, roasted garlic, chipotle peppers, chopped onion, cilantro, cumin, and salt.

Step 4

Juice the lime and add the juice to the blender or food processor along with the olive oil and water.

Step 5

Blend the mixture until smooth or until your desired consistency is reached. If needed, add an additional tablespoon of water to adjust thickness.

Step 6

Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt or lime juice as needed.

Step 7

Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and let it cool to room temperature. It pairs perfectly with tortilla chips, tacos, grilled meats, or even scrambled eggs.

Step 8

Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week.
