Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together the dark chili powder and smoked salt.
- On a sheet pan lined with foil, place the tomatoes cut side up. Sprinkle the smoked chili powder salt over the the tops of the tomatoes. Add the rest of the ingredients on the sheet pan.
- Broil on high for 20 minutes, flipping the peppers and garlic over halfway through.
- Once the produce is roasted, peel the garlic and cut the stems off the hot peppers. If you want your salsa less spicy, scrape the seeds out of the peppers.
- Place all the ingredients in a food processor, add the cilantro and the lime juice. Blend on high for 30-45 seconds, until all the ingredients are chopped. You may have to scrape the sides if any chunky ingredients get stuck to the sides. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
- The salsa will be warm since all the ingredients were freshly roasted. You can eat it at that temperature or place it in the refrigerator to chill before enjoying.
- To store: place in an airtight container in the refrigerator and should last 5-7 days.
Notes
Tomatoes:
- I use Roma tomatoes when making salsa because they are firm and hold up the best when blending. They also don't have as much liquid, so you won't have a watery salsa.
Salt:
- If you don't have smoked sea salt, you can use regular kosher salt, the smokey flavor really gives the salsa another depth of flavor though.
