How to Make Top Secret Recipes Version Of Chevy's Salsa By Todd Wilbur

  1. Preheat your barbecue grill or broiler to high heat.
  2. Wash and dry 2 lbs ripe Roma tomatoes. Lightly brush with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  3. Wash 6-8 jalapeños; remove stems only if desired. Lightly brush with olive oil.
  4. Place tomatoes on the grill and cook for 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until slightly charred.
  5. Add jalapeños to the grill. Cook for an additional 10 minutes, turning frequently, until charred on most surfaces.
  6. Remove tomatoes and jalapeños from grill; let cool slightly on a plate.
  7. Once cool enough to handle, peel the skin off the tomatoes. Remove the stems from the jalapeños.
  8. Discard the excess liquid from the plate.
  9. Place peeled tomatoes and jalapeños in a food processor.
  10. Add 1 medium white onion (chopped), 1 cup chopped cilantro, 1/2 cup lime juice, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the food processor.
  11. Pulse until desired consistency is reached. Start with short pulses for a chunkier salsa, or blend for longer for a smoother consistency.
  12. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add more lime juice for acidity, or salt and pepper to taste.
  13. Transfer the salsa to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
