Ingredients
- 2 large tomatoes (1 1/2 pounds)
- 1 medium white onion, halved
- 3 jalapenos
- 3 garlic cloves, unpeeled
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 2 limes)
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
-
Heat broiler, with rack in top position. Place tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, and garlic in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet.
-
Broil until vegetables are blistered and slightly softened, rotating sheet and flipping vegetables frequently, 6 to 8 minutes (garlic may need to be removed earlier if it is browning too quickly).
-
Discard garlic skins. In a food processor, pulse garlic and vegetables until coarsely pureed. Add lime juice, season with salt and pepper, and pulse to combine.
-
Transfer salsa to a bowl and stir in cilantro.
Cook's Note
If you prefer less heat, use fewer jalapenos or just remove the ribs and seeds.
For green salsa, use 1 1/2 pounds tomatillos in place of tomatoes and omit the lime juice.
