Fire Roasted Salsa

Texas and Tacos go hand in hand...it is one of the things I love about living in this great state! In my opinion, you can't have a taco without a yummy salsa. I like my salsa with just a bit of heat. I also love my salsa roasted. In this recipe I used Early Girl Tomatoes, Jalapenos and Fresno Peppers fresh from my garden. Check out this easy recipe below. 

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs of vine ripe tomatoes 
  
  
• 1 white onion cut in quarters 
• 6 cloves of garlic (keep the peel on) 
• 1 jalapeno 
• 1 fresno chili
• Olive oil 
• Salt and Pepper  
• 1 cup of cilantro 

Recipe 

1. Cut tomatoes in 1/2 
2. Cut onion in quarters
3. Slice peppers in half length wise 
4. Place all the ingredients on a cookie sheet 
5. Drizzle with olive oil and lightly salt and pepper everything 
6. Broil on high for 8-15 mins until nice and roasted. Slightly blackened on the top
7. Remove from the oven and let completely cool
8. Peel the garlic 
9. Once cooled add all the ingredients including the cilantro to the blender
10. Taste and add salt if needed

*Tip: Add the peppers in half increments then taste for spiciness

*Tip: Add lime juice for acid

This recipe hits all the spots. I hope that you will take time to give it a try. 

Peace, Love, and Salsa
