Been lurking here for a few weeks and just attempted my first salsa.
2 Roma tomatoes
1 tomatillo
1 jalapeño
2 habaneros
I like heat so I left the seeds and membranes in peppers
1 tablespoon diced onion.
1 tablespoon minced garlic
Broiled tomatoes, tomatillo, and peppers on 400 till everything blistered.
I kinda winged it from there and added salt, black pepper, oregano, cilantro, and lime juice then blended.
It turned out tasty to me but lacking something. The heat is there but not overpowering. The cilantro comes through strong in the taste.
Any suggestions, tips are welcome, I want to try more.

Substitute chicken bouillon powder for the salt. The MSG really adds a depth of flavor.
Do some research on msg and citric acid. I’ve you get your method or recipe down this stuff kicks it up a couple notches
Also a bit of citric acid keeps it fresh tasting for a while. I have fresh salsa in my fridge from a few weeks ago and it still states like when I made it.
Looks so yummy!
I personally like chunky salsa, so I use pulse several times instead of completely blending. But it’s a personal preference, of course.
You should try doing salsas with tomatillos and dried chillies! It’s so fun to combine the chillies to achieve your personal touch to it.
You need more tomatillo.
Also, are you a dragon?
Edit:
U definitely need to roast the onion too.
The garlic too, if afraid of burning them, throw them in near the end.
