🔥 Fire-Roasted Tomato Salsa

🌶️ Ingredients:

• 4 medium fire-roasted tomatoes (canned or fresh)

• 2 cloves garlic, peeled

• 1/2 small white onion, chopped

• 1–2 jalapeños or serranos (fire-roasted for more flavor)

• 1 tbsp lime juice

• 1/2 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

• 1/2 tsp cumin (optional for earthiness)

• 1 tsp sugar (optional, helps balance acidity)

🔪 Instructions:

1. Roast your vegetables (if using fresh):

   • Over a gas flame, grill, or under a broiler, char the tomatoes, peppers, onion, and garlic until blackened spots appear. Let cool slightly.

   • Remove excess charred skin from tomatoes and peppers if desired (leave some for smoky flavor).

2. Blend or pulse:

   • In a blender or food processor, add the roasted ingredients, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and cumin.

   • Pulse until desired consistency (chunky or smooth—your choice!).

3. Taste and adjust:

   • Add more salt, lime juice, or a pinch of sugar to balance flavors.

4. Chill (optional but recommended):

   • Let it rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.

📝 Tips:

• Use fire-roasted canned tomatoes if you don’t have time to roast fresh ones.

• For extra heat, leave in the pepper seeds or add a roasted habanero.

• Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days in the fridge.
