Restaurant Style Salsa
This Restaurant Style Salsa is made with broiled tomatoes, jalapeño, onion, garlic and fresh cilantro for a smooth, flavorful salsa that tastes just like your favorite Mexican restaurant.
Ingredients
- 2 medium Roma tomatoes, halved
- ½ cup roughly chopped white onion
- 1 medium jalapeño pepper, sliced in half & seeds removed
- 2 medium garlic cloves, halved
- ½ small bunch fresh cilantro, rinsed & stems removed
- One 10-ounce can Rotel tomatoes (original)
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice
- ¾ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cumin
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler to high.
- Arrange the tomatoes (skin side up), onion, jalapeño (skin side up) and garlic in an even layer on a large baking sheet. Broil for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the tomatoes and jalapeños have blistered and blackened pretty thoroughly on top.
- Combine the canned and broiled veggies in the bowl of a food processor; pulse 5 times to chop. Add the cilantro, lime juice, salt, and cumin; process for 10 seconds. Pulse further until desired consistency is reached.
Notes
Tips
- Don't be afraid of the char on the vegetables—it adds flavor.
- Pulse gradually to achieve your preferred consistency.
- Refrigerate for an hour before serving for even better flavor.
- Use fresh lime juice for the brightest taste.
- Remove jalapeño seeds for mild salsa or leave some in for extra heat.
