This Grilled Drunken Salsa is a lot more like a dip with grill ingredients, pureed, simmered, chilled then served for deep rich complex flavors. It can still be used on a range of Mexican meals such as tacos, nachos, quesadillas, and similar.
The fresh ingredients include tomato, red onion, and jalapeno but feel free to experiment by adding additional ingredients like bell pepper. The jalapeno can be removed for people who don’t like heat or exchanged for a hotter variety for those who love the heat.
If served as a dipping salsa it can be paired with chips which are great for scooping it up but you can also use vegetables like carrot and celery. Using corn chips makes it a gluten-free option.
