Fire Roasted Salsa
Fire is a flavor, which is especially true in parts of northern Mexico where nearly everything is cooked over coals. This is a great salsa with fresh flavors that can be adjusted to your preferred spice level.
Ingredients
- 6 oz tomatillos plus or minus 1.5 oz
- 1 lb Roma tomatoes plus or minus 3 oz
- 6 oz white onion plus or minus 1.5 oz
- 0-5 dried arbor chilis dried - 2 is a decent medium salsa
- 1 tsp Badia brand Adobo seasoning the version with pepper preferred
- 1/4-1/3 cup rough chopped cilantro loosely packed
Instructions
- Peel the tomatillos, trim the ends from the white onion and peel the papery outer layer, and wash the tomatillos, tomatoes, and onion. Grill over coals or on high heat until char forms all around the outside.
- As the tomato, tomatillos and onion finish cooking, add them to a blender. Quickly char the arbol chilis. Remove the stems, shake out the seeds inside as much as you can and add the chilis to the blender as well.
- Blend the ingredients together to your preferred consistency. Add more adobo seasoning if desired, stir and transfer to a jar. Enjoy warm, or allow to chill overnight for the full flavor to develop.
