How to Make Charred Tomato Salsa
- Preheat your grill, oven (broiler setting), or cast iron skillet to medium-high heat.
- Halve 2 pounds of ripe tomatoes and 2 jalapeños. Lightly brush with olive oil.
- Char the tomatoes and jalapeños until the skins are blackened on all sides (about 8-10 minutes, depending on your heat source). Turn frequently to ensure even charring.
- Transfer the charred vegetables to a heatproof bowl and cover with plastic wrap for 10 minutes. This allows the skins to loosen.
- Roughly chop 1/2 cup red onion, 1/4 cup cilantro, and 1-2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (adjust to your spice preference).
- Peel and roughly chop the charred tomatoes and jalapeños.
- Combine the charred tomatoes, jalapeños, red onion, cilantro, and chipotle peppers in a blender.
- Add 2 tablespoons lime juice and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Blend until you reach your desired consistency, adding 1-2 tablespoons of water if needed.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and lime juice as needed. Add more chipotle peppers for extra heat.
- Serve immediately or chill for later. Enjoy!
