    • Heat a cast iron skillet, grill, or broiler over high heat.
    • Drizzle tomatoes, onion, garlic, and jalapeño with olive oil.
    • Roast for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until charred and blistered.

  2. Blend the Salsa:

    • Peel the garlic and add to a food processor or blender.
    • Add the charred tomatoes, onion, jalapeño, lime juice, salt, and cumin.
    • Blend until smooth or pulse for a chunky salsa.

  • For a milder version, swap jalapeño for roasted red bell pepper.
