Making fajitas later this evening but wanted to try my hand at making some roasted red salsa on the Weber. Never made any salsa before but I found an easy recipe that is delicious. In hindsight, next time I will let the tomatoes and onion roast a little more. Still had great flavor but I was worried I’d over do it. Kept it simple. Little bit of lime, salt and pepper. Interested in trying some hotter peppers in the future for some real heat. This was medium+ to me where my wife would say it is hot. Depends on your tolerance. How’d I do? If you have tips or tricks I’m all ears in the comments! Thx.

    Looks good, Ill recommend adding different types of chiles for a more complex flavor. My fav is habaneros (3,4) and some chile de arbol lightly roasted in a pan, bonus points if on the grill. Also, tomatoes can take the heat, leave them on about 20 mins after you take everything off. Source: mexican

    Edit: just noticed you used jalapeño and serrano, excellent!! Try different combos

  2. I second the recommendations on leaving the tomatoes on longer and using a mix of peppers. Is you family member is more sensitive to the spicy heat, add in some peppers that are not so hot (like Anaheim and poblano) Ali g with your spicier varieties. A good pepper flavor will come through without the overwhelming heat. I like the heat too, but my wife not so much.

  3. I did this once but smoked. Lesson learned it’s fire roasted not smoked that makes good salsa. Nice job.
