Fire Roasted Salsa is a smoky, bold homemade dip made with charred tomatoes, jalapenos, onion, and garlic blended with fresh cilantro and lime. Perfect for chips, tacos, grilled meats, and everyday meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 Roma tomatoes
  • 1 medium white onion, halved
  • 2 jalapenos
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 1 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Instructions

  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.
  4. Remove vegetables and allow to cool slightly.
  5. Remove stems from jalapenos and add all roasted vegetables to a blender or food processor.
  6. Add cilantro, lime juice, salt, and optional cumin.
  7. Pulse until desired consistency is reached (chunky or smooth).
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to develop.

Notes

  • Remove jalapeno seeds for milder heat.
  • For extra smoky flavor, use canned fire roasted tomatoes.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze for up to 2 months if needed.
  • Stir before serving as natural juices may separate.
