Taking the ingredients of a standard salsa and grilling them gives this popular Mexican salsa a deeper rich flavor.
The tomatoes and chilies can be grilled directly over any open flame such as a campfire or gas stove, alternately they can be cooked over a hot grill.
Feel free to use your preferred combination of chilies to make the recipe as mild, or as hot as you like it.
