Whether you want to serve it with your favorite chips or use it as a condiment for grilled meats and fish, you’ll love fire-roasted salsa. Tomatoes, tomatillos, and peppers are grilled and then turned into fresh salsa.
If you like more heat in your salsa, add more jalapeño peppers and their seeds. For a less fiery condiment, don’t add the jalapeño pepper seeds or use fewer peppers.
You can make this salsa as smooth or chunky as you like. If you don’t have a blender available, you can chop everything by hand for a chunkier salsa.
