Ingredients

• 4 large tomatoes (ripe)
• 1 medium jalapeño pepper
• 1 medium onion (white or red)
• 2 large garlic cloves
• 0.5 cup cilantro (fresh)
• 1 medium lime (juice)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Start by prepping the vegetables. Peel and chop the onion into quarters, slice the jalapeño in half (remove seeds for a milder salsa), and peel the garlic cloves.

Step 2

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Place the tomatoes, onion quarters, jalapeño halves, and garlic cloves into the hot skillet.

Step 3

Cook the vegetables for 3-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are lightly charred and softened. This will enhance their flavors.

Step 4

Allow the cooked vegetables to cool slightly. Then, add them to a blender or food processor along with the fresh cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper.

Step 5

Blend the mixture to your desired consistency – chunky for a rustic salsa or smooth for a dip-friendly version.

Step 6

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lime juice to brighten the flavor.

Step 7

Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and serve it immediately with tortilla chips, or chill in the refrigerator for an hour to enhance the flavors further.
