Ingredients

  • 4 tomatoes off the vine sliced in half
  • ½ onion quartered
  • 2 chipotle chili peppers in adobo sauce

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic 
  • 1 lemon juiced
  • Handful of cilantro
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare a baking sheet with foil, place each tomato half skin side up on the baking sheet along with the quartered ½ onion. Place in the oven (not too close to the top) and turn your oven on broil. Broil until the skins turn black around 9-12 minutes.
  2. After the skins have turned black, flip the tomatoes and onions and place back in the oven with the broil setting still on for another 9-12 minutes.
  3. After the tomatoes and onion are done, place them in the food processor with the remaining ingredients. Pulse a few times, adjust salt to taste, pulse more until you reach your desired texture. It should still be a little chunky.
