2 tablespoons olive oil
2-3 garlic cloves
¼ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped (optional)
1 tablespoon taco seasoning (your favorite)
½ tablespoon sugar
2 limes, juiced
Couple dashes hot sauce (optional)
Sea salt and fresh ground pepper, to taste
Preheat broiler to high (500 degrees). Combine tomatoes, all peppers, and all onions in a bowl. Add olive oil and taco seasoning and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Pour contents out on a sheet pan and place under the broiler for 10-15 minutes or until vegetables caramelize and char. Remove from heat and let cool completely. Add ingredients to blender or food processor and pulse until desired consistency. Add garlic cloves sugar, lime juice, hot sauce, and cilantro to blender and pulse. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Fresh tip: if you want the salsa to be hot leave some of the seeds in the chili peppers, this is where the heat lives!
