Fire roasted salsa comes together in minutes and is loaded with flavor. Perfect with chips, tacos, burritos and nachos.
Summer is prime tomato season, so whether you use your own homegrown tomatoes or grab them from your local grocery store. Don’t let summer go by without giving this one a try.
The charred tomatoes, peppers and onions add a smoky flavor to the salsa, great for dipping your favorite tortilla chips.
Tips for making fire roasted salsa
- I usually use Roma tomatoes but you can use, heirloom or vine tomatoes.
- Roasting the veggies on the grill gives the best flavor. But you can broil in the oven if needed.
- Use rubber gloves when seeding the peppers. The oil from the peppers can burn your hands.
- Store salsa in an airtight container for 4 days.
