Description
The Best Homemade Salsa Ever is a fresh, vibrant, and zesty condiment that can be served with tortilla chips, tacos, or as a topping for various Mexican dishes. This salsa combines ripe tomatoes, zesty lime, and a mix of fresh herbs and spices to create a delicious and versatile accompaniment that’s perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
7 raw chopped tomatoes, 7 blackened tomatoes (Roma tomatoes are my favorite for salsa but I used vine tomatoes)
1 chopped onion
1 bunch cilantro
8 cloves garlic
juice of 2 lemons
1 large jalapeno
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp salt (optional)
10 dried chile arbol peppers
Instructions
Chop all the raw tomatoes, onion, cilantro, garlic, jalapeno, and combine in large bowl.
Add the lemon juice, garlic powder, and salt to the mixture.
Blacken or roast the tomatoes in a large frying pan over medium high heat. Get the skins as dark as possible to give a roasted flavor. Then set aside to cool
To roast the chile peppers, get the pan as hot as possible and then take outside. Add the chile peppers to the hot pan and darken . Take extreme caution to not breathe the fumes in from the peppers. I wait until all the smoke is clear before bringing the pan back into the house.
Blend the roasted tomatoes and chiles together in a blender.
Add the blend to the fresh chopped ingredients and mix well.
Serve with your favorite chip and enjoy!
