Roasted Heirloom Tomato Salsa

I love spicy food, and after living in Texas, California, and then Mexico, I am pretty obsessed with salsa! There is nothing more magnificent than freshly made salsa, and honestly, that was better than the beach in Mexico. I am still down with eating salsa at the beach, though. This salsa is roasted for maximum flavor, and I had so many requests for salsa after I posted those gorgeous purple tomatoes I found at the farmer’s market. This is how we made it:

Roasted Heirloom Tomato Salsa

Ingredients:

1-2 heirloom tomatoes, or about 1 ½ pounds, cored and quartered

½ onion, thinly sliced

2 cloves of garlic

1 lime, juiced

2-3 chipotle peppers (from a jar), roughly chopped

½ bunch of cilantro

1/2 tsp salt

Pepper to taste

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 450 F.

Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.

Place the tomatoes and onions on the baking sheet and sprinkle with a little salt and pepper. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the tomatoes and onions start to get just a little charred.

Let the tomatoes, onions, and garlic cool a little so you don’t burn yourself, and then add them to a food processor along with the lime, chipotle peppers, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Pulse the mix until you get your desired consistency. It’s nice to have a little texture, but we’re not making pico de gallo here.

Serve with chips or whatever you like to eat your salsa with!
