Ingredients

• 4 medium Fresh tomatoes
• 2 whole Green chiles (roasted and peeled)
• 1 medium White onion
• 2 whole Garlic cloves
• 1 bunch Cilantro leaves
• 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 1 small Jalapeño or serrano pepper (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the tomatoes and green chiles under cold water.

Step 2

Using a skillet or open flame, lightly char the skin of the tomatoes, green chiles, and optional jalapeño if using. Turn occasionally until the skins blister and blacken slightly, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Once charred, place the green chiles and jalapeño (if using) in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a lid to steam for 5 minutes. This will make it easier to peel them.

Step 4

Peel the skins off the charred green chiles and jalapeño. Remove the stems and seeds for a milder salsa, or leave some seeds for extra heat.

Step 5

Dice the charred tomatoes, peeled green chiles, and jalapeño (if using). Transfer to a mixing bowl.

Step 6

Finely chop the white onion, garlic, and cilantro leaves. Add them to the bowl with the diced tomatoes and chiles.

Step 7

Add lime juice, salt, and ground cumin to the mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 8

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

Step 9

Serve immediately or let the salsa chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Enjoy with tortilla chips or use as a topping for your favorite dishes.
