ingredients

  • 4 to 5 medium tomatoes
  • 1 garlic clove chopped
  • 1/3 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 1 small jalapeño seeded and sliced
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 cup white onion chopped
  • 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

instructions

  • Heat a medium, heavy-bottomed sauté pan over high heat. Add the whole tomatoes to the hot pan and char on all sides, approximately 1 minute per side, until blackened and the skins begin to pull away from the flesh of the tomatoes. Remove from heat and cut into large chunks.
  • Combine the charred tomatoes, including any charred skin that has completely fallen off, with the remaining ingredients in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the mixture comes together but is still a little chunky. Remove to an airtight container and chill for at least 1 hour. Serve with tortilla chips.
