Line tomatoes, jalapenos, and onions on baking sheet. Broil on high (about 4 inches below broiler) for 5 minutes. Flip the veggies and roast for 5 more minutes until they are blistered and charred.

Allow to cool to room temperature or refrigerate if preferred.
Tips & Tricks
- Cut off the thick stems of the cilantro before using. Cilantro stems are good in some recipes, but they make this salsa a bit woody. I cut off the stems just below the leafy greens.
- Smell the jalapeños to gauge the spiciness. Generally, the spicier they smell, the spicier they will be. The more you smell jalapeños, the more familiar you will become.
