The key is to char the ingredients under the broiler for a roasty flavor, then blitz it in batches for a texture that's right in between smooth and chunky.

Yield Makes about 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lb. tomatoes, cored, cut in half crosswise
1 medium white onion, sliced into 1/4"-thick rounds
3 serrano chiles
3 garlic cloves, unpeeled
Kosher salt
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
2 Tbsp. finely chopped cilantro
Tortilla chips (for serving)

Steps:

  • Heat broiler. Place tomatoes cut side down on a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Fit onion, chiles, and garlic around tomatoes so everything is snug but not overlapping. Broil, turning onion and chiles once, until lightly charred, about 6 minutes for chiles and garlic and 15-18 minutes for tomatoes and onion.
  • Peel garlic and place in a food processor along with half of the tomatoes. Pulse until very smooth. Add remaining tomatoes and pulse until tomatoes are mostly broken up but mixture still has some texture. Transfer to a medium bowl. Finely chop onion and chiles and mix into purée; season with salt. Let cool. Stir in lime juice and cilantro. Season salsa with more salt if needed. Serve with chips.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, fresh tomatoes: The quality of your tomatoes will greatly impact the flavor of your salsa. Choose ripe, juicy tomatoes that are free of blemishes.
  • Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives them a smoky, caramelized taste. If you have the time, roast your tomatoes before making your salsa.
  • Use a variety of chiles: Different chiles have different flavor profiles, so using a variety will give your salsa more depth of flavor. Some good options include jalapeños, serranos, and habaneros.
  • Don't over-chop your ingredients: You want your salsa to have some texture, so don't chop your ingredients too finely. A rough chop will give your salsa a more rustic, authentic feel.
  • Season to taste: The amount of salt, lime juice, and cilantro you add to your salsa will depend on your personal preferences. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.

Conclusion:

With its fresh, vibrant flavors, this salsa is the perfect condiment for any Mexican dish. Whether you're using it as a dip for chips, a topping for tacos, or a marinade for chicken, this salsa is sure to please. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy way to add some flavor to your meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
