Roasted Red Pepper & Tomato Salsa

5 medium tomatoes
1/2 medium onion
1/2 red pepper
2 cloves garlic
Handful of fresh cilantro
1/2 habanero or jalapeno pepper
Juice of 1 lime
1/2 tsp cumin
Salt (to taste) **I used smoked sea salt
Olive oil


This is a seriously flavorful, slightly smoky and easy to make salsa!  Preheat oven to broil. Cut tomatoes in half and onions in quarters and arrange on a tin-foil lined baking sheet. Add the red pepper, garlic cloves (whole & with skin) and hot pepper.  Drizzle with a bit of olive oil & salt.  Broil for 10 min, until skin on tomatoes and pepper begins to char.  Cool for 5 min.

Remove tomato, pepper and garlic skins.  Throw all veggies (except cilantro & lime) into food processor. Pulse 2-4 times (you want to leave it a bit chunky).  Toss in a bowl with cilantro and lime juice.  Add cumin and salt to taste.

Serve with corn chips or toasted pita chips.  They were out of corn chips at the corner store, but DID have whole wheat pita.  Cut in triangles, drizzle salt and olive oil nd bake for 10 min at 375. :)

Easy snack ready in <20 min. Serve with icy Corona (with lime) and some fresh cut avocado wedges or guacamole! Fiesta!!
