Charred Tomato Salsa

This is my favorite homemade salsa; great with chips, on tacos, and wonderful with any kind of eggs for breakfast.

1/2 white onion, chopped into 1 inch pieces

4 large garlic cloves, halved

2 tbs olive oil

4 -5 large plum tomatoes, halved

Sazon or Lawry's garlic salt

2 large jalapenos, seeds removed and halved or quartered

3 tbs fresh lime juice

1/3 c. chopped cilantro

1 tbs chopped or blended chipotle in adobo

Sprinkle garlic salt or Sazon on the cut side of the tomatoes. In a large skillet, add oil, onion, garlic, tomatoes (cut side down), and jalapenos. Char everything for 5-10 min on high heat until there is some caramelization and the vegetables are tender but not cooked through. Remove from heat and let it cool.

Add the vegetables to a blender with the lime juice and blend until smooth. Add the cilantro and chipotles, season with salt and pepper, and pulse until combined. Adjust seasoning to your taste. If it needs more heat, add more chipotle. Add more lime juice if it needs additional acid.
