Salsa Quemada (Roasted Tomato and Tomatillo Salsa)

Advertisement

👨‍🍳 Instructions:

Step 1: Char the Veggies

On a dry skillet or comal over medium-high heat, roast tomatoes, tomatillos, chiles, garlic, and onion until deeply charred and blistered (8–10 mins). Turn occasionally.

Garlic should be soft and tomatoes should collapse slightly.

Step 2: Blend

Peel garlic and remove stems from chiles.

Blend all roasted ingredients with cilantro and salt.

Pulse for a rustic texture or blend smoother — your choice!

Optional: Add lime juice for brightness.

Step 3: Taste & Adjust

Check salt and heat level. Add more chiles for extra fire 🔥

💡 Pro Tip:
For extra depth, roast everything over an open flame or grill instead of a pan. Add a pinch of cumin for an earthy kick!
