Ingredients

• 2 14.5 Ounces (oz) stewed tomatoes, drained
• 0.5 Medium onion, minced
• 0.25 Cups canned sliced green chiles
• 2 Whole jalapeños, roasted
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) fresh cilantro, minced
• 0.5 Whole lime, juiced
• 0.5 Whole lime, zested
• 5 Whole garlic cloves, roasted
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) chili powder

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the whole jalapeños and garlic cloves on a baking sheet. Roast for about 10 minutes, or until the jalapeños are blistered and the garlic is fragrant. Allow to cool slightly, then chop the jalapeños and mince the garlic.
2. In a blender or food processor, combine the drained stewed tomatoes, minced onion, green chiles, roasted jalapeños, roasted garlic, fresh cilantro, lime juice, lime zest, salt, and chili powder.
3. Blend on low speed until the salsa reaches your desired consistency. For a chunkier salsa, pulse the ingredients; for a smoother texture, blend continuously.
4. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or lime juice to suit your preference.
5. Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and let it sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
6. Serve with tortilla chips or as a topping for your favorite Mexican dishes. Enjoy!
