  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

  1. Preheat broiler to high or heat grill to medium-high.
  2. Place tomatoes, onion, jalapenos, and garlic on a baking sheet or directly on the grill.
  3. Roast or char for 6–8 minutes, turning halfway through, until skins blister and darken.

  7. Pulse until desired consistency is reached (chunky or smooth).
