Ingredients
Fresh Ingredients
- 6 medium medium size vine ripened tomatoes Stem removed
- 2 jalapeno peppers
- 1 poblano pepper
- 1 cup green onion Diced
- 1 lime Juice of
- 1 cup canned diced tomatoes
- 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 2 cloves garlic Minced
- 1 tbsp chicken bouillon powder or sea salt
Instructions
Cooking
- Heat a large skillet to medium-high heat. Place tomatoes and peppers in the skillet.
- Continue to sauté, rotating the vegetables occasionally, so several sides begin to blister. This will take around 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Once cooled, chop off the stems of the peppers and remove the seeds from the jalapeño (you can also keep some seeds for more heat in your salsa). Cut the vegetables into large pieces.
- Place tomatoes, peppers, onions, lime juice, and canned tomatoes into a blender and pulse quickly until just mixed (about 5 seconds).
- Add garlic, cilantro, and bouillon. Pulse for another 15 seconds until well blended but chunky.
- Place in a large bowl and refrigerate until cooled before serving.
Notes
Serve with your favorite Mexican dishes or with tortilla chips. Store any leftover salsa in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. If you want to keep it longer, you can freeze the salsa for up to three months. Just thaw in the fridge and stir well before serving. Choose ripe tomatoes for optimal flavor and adjust the heat as desired.
