Roasting and Blending

• Heat a dry pan to medium-hot and add the jalapeños, onion, and garlic.
• Cook until the peppers are completely blackened, about 20 minutes. Remove from the pan.
• Cut the stems off of the jalapeños and place them in your blender.
• Remove the garlic cloves from their husks and add to your blender.
• Add the onion and cilantro, ¼ cup of water, lime juice, and 1 tsp. salt.
• Blend for 30 seconds. 

“Seasoning the Salsa”

• Heat 2 tbsp of cooking oil to medium-hot in the same pan that you roasted the jalapeños.
• Pour the blended salsa into the hot oil. This step is called "seasoning" the salsa.

Cooking the Salsa

• After 1 minute in the hot oil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes. This deepens and intensifies the flavor.
• After 15 minutes, take and adjust the salt if needed.
