Cómo preparar Elizabeth's Salsa

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
Wash and dry 2 lbs ripe tomatoes and 2 large jalapeño peppers. Drizzle generously with 2 tablespoons olive oil and toss gently to coat.
Grill the tomatoes and jalapeños, turning once, until blackened in spots (about 8-10 minutes per side).
Remove from grill and let cool completely. Once cool, peel off the blackened skin and remove stems from tomatoes.
Roughly chop the tomatoes.
Remove the stem from the jalapeño pepper. For mild salsa, remove seeds and membranes; for medium, keep half the seeds; for spicy, use the whole pepper.
Combine the chopped tomatoes, jalapeño pepper, 1 large clove garlic (or 1/2 if small), 1/2 cup chopped red onion, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor.
Process until you reach your desired consistency (pulse for chunky, blend for smooth).
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed (add more lime juice, salt, or spices to preference).
Transfer to a bowl, stir well, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled. For canning, follow proper food preservation guidelines for salsa.
**Optional Variations:** Roast 1 medium bell pepper alongside the tomatoes and jalapeños. Once cool, peel and seed it, then pulse it with the tomatoes in the food processor. Add 1 cup cooked corn kernels and/or 1 (15-ounce) can black beans (rinsed and drained) for added texture and flavor. Use roasted garlic instead of fresh garlic for a deeper garlic flavor.
