3-4 large Florida tomatoes, diced large
1 large Florida sweet pepper, diced large
1 chili pepper, diced large, seeds removed (jalapeno or serrano)
½ poblano pepper, diced large, seeds removed
½ cup white onion, diced large
1 cup red onion, diced large
2 tablespoons olive oil
2-3 garlic cloves
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped fine (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 to 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!
