Delicious Grilled Tomato Salsa Recipe - Fresh & Easy

Ingredients

Servings:
2
  • 4 medium ripe tomatoes (Grilled until charred)
  • 1 medium onion (Chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (Minced)
  • 1 medium jalapeño pepper (Seeded and chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice (Freshly squeezed)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (Chopped)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

    Make sure the grill grates are clean to prevent sticking.
  2. Grill the Tomatoes

    Place the tomatoes on the grill and cook until charred, about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally.

    Look for a nice char on all sides for the best flavor.
  3. Grill the Onion and Jalapeño

    Add the onion and jalapeño to the grill. Grill until softened, about 3-5 minutes.

    You can wrap them in foil for easier handling.
  4. Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine the grilled tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, garlic, lime juice, salt, and pepper.

    Mash the tomatoes slightly for a chunkier salsa.
  5. Add Cilantro

    Stir in the chopped cilantro and mix well.

    Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Serve

    Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and enjoy with tortilla chips or tacos.

    For best flavor, let it rest for 30 minutes before serving.
