Eunice Huerta
Roasted Jalapeño salsa is moderately hot, and has an earthy flavor if you leave the blackened skins on, or if you prefer off, either way, it's delicious!

Ingredients
  

  • 6 tomatoes
  • 5 jalapeno chile peppers seeded
  • 1 anaheim chile pepper seeded
  • 1 small onion
  • 2 tsp. minced garlic
  • 1/4 tsp Mexican oregano
  • 6 sprigs cilantro
  • 1 tsp lime juice
  • Salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Grill the chiles, onions, and tomatoes over the barbecue grill that has been lined with aluminum foil (optional).
  • Place chiles skin down towards heat source to blacken, don't burn through skin. Remove chiles from the grill and place them in a plastic bag, leave them in the bag for 10 - 15 minutes. Placing in the bag will loosen skins, easier to remove.
  • With a sharp knife scrape off skins carefully, or leave them on for earthy taste. Onion slices will soften, then remove from the grill.
  • Place all ingredients in a food processor, or blender for a few seconds, you want a chopped salsa not paste.
  • Salt to taste.
  • Tip * if too spicy, you can add a little olive oil and a can of tomatoes to the salsa.
  • Oven roasting as an option: It will take about 10-15 minutes at 400 degrees F to roast ingredients.
