The Only Salsa You Need image

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.

I'm not a fan of cilantro, but I still really liked this salsa. The flavors are all so well-balanced.

This salsa is a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

I've made this salsa several times now and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and it tastes so fresh. I love that I can adjust the spiciness by adding more or less jalapeño.

This salsa is amazing! I love the smoky flavor from the roasted tomatoes. It's the perfect salsa for tacos.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salsa turned out really watery. It didn't have much flavor either.

This salsa is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

This salsa is a bit too spicy for my taste, but it's still really good. I would recommend it to anyone who likes spicy food.

This salsa is a game-changer! It's so fresh and flavorful, and it goes with everything. I've been putting it on tacos, burritos, eggs, and even just eating it with chips. It's the perfect way to add a little zest to any meal.
