4 – 6 fresh tomatoes ( core removed)
1 large onion peeled and cut in half
1 – 4 fresh jalapenos
1 bunch fresh cilantro
2 limes (zest of one, juice of both)
Salt & Pepper
Core the tomatoes and stem the peppers, cut the onion in half and put on a medium high grill. (Can also be done in oven.) Roast or grill the vegetables until skins begin to blister on tomatoes and peppers and onion turns dark (black is OK). Once cooked, remove the vegetables and put the cooked tomatoes in a bowl and allow them to cool before peeling skins. In a food process, add onion, pulse, add tomatoes, pulse, add peppers, pulse. Add cilantro, lime zest and juice and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Allow to set at room temperature for 10 – 20 minutes. Serve with tortilla chips.
Zach did not peel the tomatoes and he added just a little cumin. Still came out great. Vita Mix works great for making this.
