How to Make Fire Roasted Tomato Salsa

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grill rack.
  2. In a large bowl, toss 2 lbs ripe tomatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, and ½ tsp black pepper.
  3. Cut the top off 1 head of garlic and drizzle with 1 tsp olive oil. Wrap in foil.
  4. Place garlic, 1 large onion (sliced), tomatoes, 2-3 green chilies (seeded and roughly chopped), and 1-2 jalapeños (seeded and roughly chopped) on the hot grill.
  5. Grill for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until onions and tomatoes begin to char and soften, and pepper skins are charred and blistered.
  6. Transfer vegetables to a cutting board. Wrap peppers in foil to steam for 5-10 minutes until cool enough to handle.
  7. Remove and discard pepper skins, stems, and seeds.
  8. Finely chop the peppers.
  9. Chop the tomatoes, onion, and grilled garlic.
  10. In a bowl, combine the chopped peppers, tomatoes, any juices from grilling, onion, ½ cup chopped cilantro, juice of 2 limes, and 1 tsp salt.
  11. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more salt, lime juice, or chopped jalapeños for extra heat.
  12. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 hours to allow flavors to meld.
