Number of Servings: 7

Ingredients

    1- 28-ounce can of peeled tomatoes
    2-3 jalapenos
    1 long chile pepper (anaheim or poblano)
    1-2 cloves of garlic
    1/2 yellow or white onion
    pinch of salt
    black pepper

Tips

I sometimes use green onions instead of a white or yellow onion. I think it gives the salsa a smoother taste.


Directions

1. Preheat oven to broil.

2. Place jalapenos and long chile pepper on baking sheet.

3. Put chile peppers in oven until slightly roasted (about 10-15 mins).

4. While peppers are roasting, slice onion and mince garlic.

5. When you take out the peppers, allow them to cool. Once the peppers are cool enough to touch, peel as much skin off as you can.

6. Cut off the stems on the peppers. Open peppers and take out seeds. The more seeds you leave, the hotter the salsa.

7. Add all the ingredients together in a blender or food processor and blend. Make it as smooth or chunky as you want.

8. Add more salt or pepper to taste. Also, a dash of lemon or lime juice if you want.
