Fire Roasted Salsa
Fire-roasted salsa is so easy to make at home you will never buy another jar…ever!
My family is so crazy about this restaurant-style salsa I can’t seem to keep it stocked fast enough.
If you like restaurant-style salsa, you will love this recipe even more. Spice up Taco Tuesday with this fresh-tasting homemade salsa!
It literally takes no time at all to make this salsa. The fire-roasted tomatoes add a perfect smoky flavor to this fresh-tasting salsa.
This salsa beats store-bought and Mexican restaurant salsa any day!
All you have to do is chop the onion, jalapeno, and garlic. Chopping the garlic cloves will help them process better in the food processor.
Place the tomatoes, onion, garlic, green chilies, cilantro, lime juice, jalapenos, salt, and pepper in the blender or food processor and give it a whirl or few.
For the best flavor, store in the refrigerator for an hour or two to allow the flavors to combine.
Serve with your favorite tortilla chips, and enjoy!
FAQ
Make sure you remove the seeds. Cut the tomatoes and gently squeeze out the seeds. The ‘goo’ you’re thinking about is called the locules.
The seeds and pith contain the heat. If you want mild salsa, remove them. For a spicer version, include some seeds and pith.

Thank you, April!
We love homemade salsa, we can’t keep it in the frig! I’ve never used the fire-roasted tomatoes, I’m definitely going to look for them at the store! I agree that canned tomatoes make the most flavorful salsa, I like the fresh for pico de gallo, but canned for salsa! I am going to try your recipe, it looks so delish!
Thank you, Nikki! The fire roasted tomatoes give it that little extra smoky flavor…so good!

This salsa looks absolutely wonderful!! I have to try it this week. I get so tired of paying so much for a bottle of salsa and it lasts one day – at least for a family of five. I will pass on this recipe. Thanks for sharing.
Rebekah, you guys will like this salsa soooo much better than the jarred! Thank you for stopping, by!
Ohh man. I love a good salsa recipe! Part of what holds me back from making my own is dealing with the tomatoes so this looks like a great way to me to get past that!
Brittany, this recipe is so easy and delicious you won’t be able to keep it in stock! š
