Homemade salsa pecante

Instructions:

1. Start by roasting the tomatoes, peppers, and onion. You can do this on a grill, under the broiler, or over an open flame on your stovetop. Roast them until they get a bit charred, which will give the salsa a smoky flavor. Be sure to turn them occasionally to char all sides.
2. Once roasted, allow the vegetables to cool for a few minutes, and then peel the skin off the tomatoes and remove the stems from the peppers.
3. Place the roasted tomatoes, peppers, and onion in a blender or food processor.
4. Add the garlic, cilantro, and lime juice to the blender.
5. Blend the ingredients until the salsa reaches your desired consistency. Some people like it chunky, while others prefer it smoother.
6. Taste the salsa and add salt as needed. You can also add other spices like cumin or chili powder for extra flavor.
7. If the salsa is too spicy for your taste, you can reduce the heat by removing the seeds and membranes from the peppers before blending.
8. Once you’re satisfied with the flavor and heat level, transfer the salsa to a bowl.
9. Allow the salsa to chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This helps the flavors meld together.
10. Serve with tortilla chips, tacos, grilled meats, or any dish where you’d like to add some spicy and tangy flavor.
