Instructions
- Place tomatoes, onions, and jalapeños directly on a hot grill or gas stove flame. Let them dance with the flames until the skin gets beautifully charred.
- Once they are half charred, add the garlic, and roast them.
- Once they have that perfect smoky coat, let them cool.
- Add all these ingredients to the mixer. Add salt, and pepper according to your taste.
- Add fresh cilantro to this mix. This is where the magic of freshness joins the smoky party. Grind it to a fine consistency. I like my salsa to be of fine consistency.
- Squeeze the juice of one lime into the bowl. It adds that zesty kick that elevates the flavors.
- I like to add some olive oil in the end, to this mix. Stir well. This enhances the taste to a different level.
- Allow your salsa to chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. It lets the ingredients get cozy and enhances the overall taste.
- Grab your favorite tortilla chips or use it as a topping for tacos. This fire-roasted salsa is a fiesta in every bite!
The resulting fire-roasted salsa is known for its unique and robust taste, making it a popular choice as a dip with tortilla chips or a versatile topping for various dishes like tacos or grilled meats.
