Smoky Fire-Roasted Poblano Salsa

Smoky Fire-Roasted Poblano Salsa brings a char-kissed depth from blistered poblano and jalapeño balanced by bright lime and fresh cilantro. Chunky fire-roasted tomatoes add body and a gentle sweetness, while a hint of chipotle rounds out the heat. Serve it at parties, taco nights, or alongside grilled meats when you want a boldly flavored dip with layered smokiness.

Smoky Fire-Roasted Poblano Salsa
  1. 1

    Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat and lightly oil the grate. Rinse the poblano and jalapeño peppers.

  2. 2

    Grill the peppers and the onion on the preheated grill, turning now and then, until all sides are charred and blistered, 6 to 8 minutes.

  3. 3

    Place the peppers in a covered bowl for 5 minutes to steam and loosen the skins. Scrape off the skins with a knife and discard them. Slice the peppers in half and remove the seeds, if desired. Move them to a food processor or blender.

  4. 4

    Add the diced tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro, lime juice, chipotle powder, and salt to the peppers; pulse for 15 to 20 seconds until you reach the desired consistency. Serve right away or refrigerate for several hours to let the flavors blend.
