Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- If you like extra smokiness, toss the onion and jalapeno with the tomatoes, olive oil, and garlic, and smoke all of it!
- Want it extra spicy? Use a serrano or habanero pepper instead of a jalapeno pepper.
- Depending on the size of your tomatoes, this recipe can make about 3 cups of salsa, but it's easily doubled. Just make sure to smoke the tomatoes in a single layer.
- You can prep this dish ahead of time. Simply smoke the tomatoes and pop them tightly wrapped into the fridge. When you're ready, simply finish the recipe.
