Ingredients

• 3 medium Tomatoes
• 4 medium Tomatillos
• 1 medium Jalapeño pepper
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves
• 0.5 cup Cilantro
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 0.5 medium Onion

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet or grill pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Remove the husks from the tomatillos and rinse them thoroughly to remove their sticky residue.

Step 3

Core the tomatoes and tomatillos, and cut them in half.

Step 4

Place the tomatoes, tomatillos, jalapeño, garlic cloves (skin on), and onion (cut into large chunks) on the skillet or grill pan.

Step 5

Drizzle everything with the olive oil and let cook, turning occasionally, until they develop char marks and soften (about 10-12 minutes).

Step 6

Once cooled slightly, peel the charred skin from the garlic cloves.

Step 7

Transfer the charred vegetables to a blender or food processor.

Step 8

Add the cilantro, lime juice, and salt to the blender.

Step 9

Blend the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency. For a smooth salsa, blend longer; for a chunkier texture, pulse gently.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice to preference.

Step 11

Transfer the salsa to a bowl and serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
