Cooking steps

Homemade Restaurant Style Salsa

Step 1: Heat Olive Oil

In a large skillet, heat about 1-2 tbsp of olive oil over medium/high heat.

Step 2: Char the Ingredients

Once hot, add in your tomatoes, tomatillos, onion, jalapeño, and serrano. You can also add in your garlic at this step (leave the peel on).

Step 3: Flip Occasionally

Char for about 10-15 minutes, flipping occasionally so they get charred on all sides. More color equals more flavor.

Step 4: Blend the Ingredients

Add the charred ingredients directly to a blender (remove garlic peel if charred in step 1). Add in your salt, pepper, chicken bouillon, lime juice, garlic, and cilantro. Pulse until you reach your desired consistency.

Step 5: Taste and Adjust Seasonings

Taste for seasonings (salt, lime) and enjoy! You can add in about a tsp of olive oil to the blender to thicken the salsa a bit.
