Equipment

  • Food Processor

Ingredients
  

  • 8-9 medium tomatoes
  • 1 ½ sweet or white onions
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic
  • 2 jalapeno peppers
  • 1 ear fresh corn
  • 1 lime, zested
  • ¾ tsp cumin
  • kosher salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • On a grill or grill pan over high heat, roast 1 of the jalapenos and the ear of corn until lightly charred, 2-3 minutes.
  • In a food processor, blend the tomatoes, onions, and garlic cloves until smooth to your liking (pulse together longer for a smoother salsa).
  • Finely chop the raw jalapeno and roasted jalapeno, and slice the kernels from the roasted ear of corn. (Remove the seeds and membrane from the jalapeno for a less spicy salsa).
  • Add the chopped jalapenos and corn to the blended salsa. Stir in the zest of 1 lime, the juice of ½ the lime, the cumin, and salt to taste.
  • Serve with tortilla chips.
