Directions:
Roast the Ingredients:
In a dry skillet or over an open flame, roast the tomatoes, serrano or jalapeño peppers, garlic, and onion until they are charred and softened. This adds depth of flavor to the salsa.
Prepare the Molcajete:
If using a molcajete (stone mortar), add the garlic and a pinch of salt. Grind until it forms a paste. Then add the roasted peppers and continue to grind.
Add the Tomatoes:
Add the roasted tomatoes to the molcajete and mash them together with the other ingredients until you reach your desired consistency.
Incorporate the Avocado:
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into the molcajete. Mash and mix it with the salsa.
Finish with Cilantro and Seasoning:
Stir in chopped fresh cilantro and season with salt to taste. If desired, add a squeeze of lime juice for extra brightness.
