In our house, we LOVE Mexican food. So much so, that I cook it every single week at least once. I love coming up with new recipes to enjoy not only for our little family, but to share with friends and family. This Fire Roasted Salsa is one I make all the time for company and is ALWAYS gone by the time the night is over. But if there is any leftover, it saves well in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to a week.

I call this “Fire Roasted” because….well, I roast the ingredients over the fire. haha. Clever. I know, right?! ;) I’ve done this three different ways, and they all work great. You can either, char them on your gas stove (I put them straight onto the burner.) Or you can put them on the grill, or you can heat them under a gas broiler.

Ingredients

6 Roma Tomatoes

3 Large Cloves of Garlic

1 Lime

1/8 tsp of Cumin

1/4 tsp of Salt

1 Yellow Onion (cut into chunks)

2 Jalapenos (take out the seeds)

2+ Chipotles in Adobo (you can start with 2 and taste and adjust the spice level.)

1 bunch of Cilantro (set aside a few springs to garnish before serving.)

2 Green Onions (to top at the end.)

Directions

Under the broiler, on the grill or on your gas stove, char the: Tomatoes, jalapenos, garlic and both the yellow and green onions. When charred, remove and let cool. Then add all the ingredients including the lime, cilantro and salt and cumin to a food processor. (I use my Ninja.) Pulse until chopped up but still has a nice texture. Then chop up your green onion and put on top and serve cooled.

Get Creative!

This salsa not only goes great with chips ;) but would be good on: eggs, chicken or steak. Get creative. It also makes a great hostess gift! Make up a batch and put it in a cute mason jar. Fry up some homemade chips and wah-la! Trust me, I’ve done this and it is always a hit. If you make this salsa, let me know. I’d love to hear what you think!
