Ingredients | Fire Roasted Tomatoes

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 pint cherry tomatoes, or more to taste

1 yellow onion, roughly chopped

8 cloves garlic, unpeeled

3 jalapeno peppers, sliced

⅓ cup firmly packed fresh cilantro leaves

1 lime, juiced

¼ teaspoon ground cumin

1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste

1 pinch dried oregano

salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and brush with olive oil.

Spread tomatoes, onion, garlic, and jalapeno peppers onto prepared baking sheet.

Cook under the preheated broiler for 5 minutes. Turn the baking sheet and continue broiling until vegetables are charred, about 5 minutes more. Cool slightly.

Remove garlic from skins; discard skins.

Blend tomatoes, onion, peeled garlic, jalapenos, any accumulated juices from the baking sheet, cilantro leaves, lime juice, cumin, cayenne pepper, and oregano in a blender until salsa is smooth. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until flavors blend, at least 2 hours. Season with salt and black pepper.
