Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 jalapeno pepper stemmed
  • 3 Roma tomato
  • ¼ large white onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt plus more as needed
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 avocado diced

Instructions

  1. Add the jalapeños, tomatoes, onion, garlic, salt, and black pepper into a blender and blend until smooth.
  2. Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Carefully stir in the blended salsa and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Transfer to a serving bowl and let it cool down slightly, or cover and chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
  4. Stir in the diced avocado right before serving.

Notes

  • This salsa is a medium or hot spice level. If you prefer a mild spice level, remove and discard the seeds and veins of the jalapeños.
  • Seasoning is crucial in this salsa. The ingredients are fresh and relatively basic; be sure to taste as you go, and ensure you have the proper salt level, as it makes a big difference.
