Ingredients
- 6-8 tomatoes, quartered
- 1 white onion, quartered
- 3-4 cloves garlic
- 3-4 habanero peppers, stems removed, seeds removed (depending on heat preference)
- 2 jalapeños, stems removed
- 2 serrano peppers, stems and seeds removed
- 2-3 teaspoons olive oil
- ⅓ cup cilantro
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- 2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and prepare a baking sheet by lining with aluminum foil. Set aside.
- Place quartered tomatoes and onions in a large mixing bowl. Add in garlic, habaneros, jalapeños, and Serrano peppers.
- Drizzle with oil and toss to evenly coat.
- Pour veggies onto the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the tomatoes start to get charred and edges of onions are browned/roasted.
- Remove veggies from the oven and transfer them to a blender.
- Blend until mixture is smooth. Add in seasonings, cilantro, and lime juice. Blend until everything is well incorporated.
- Serve with tortilla chips or use to top your favorite dishes like tacos or enchiladas.
Notes
- Always wear gloves when handling hot peppers, and avoid touching your face or eyes. Afterward, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
- Let the roasted veggies cool for a few minutes before blending—it's safer and much easier to work with.
- Toss the vegetables in oil before roasting to keep them from sticking and to help them roast evenly. Don’t crowd the pan—use two if needed so everything gets that nice char.
- Store any leftover salsa in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Want to keep it longer? Freeze it for up to 2 months and thaw it in the fridge overnight before using.
