Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh roma tomatoes (Sliced in half, stems removed.)
- 1/3 cup red onion (Sliced into a wedge.)

- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the smoker to 225 degrees.
- Add the tomatoes, onion, garlic, and jalapeno to the smoker. Smoking the cilantro is optional; it will alter the texture from soft and leafy to stiff.
- Smoke the vegetables for 90 minutes to 2 hours. For optimal flavor, smoke them for 2 hours.
- Remove the vegetables from the smoker and add them to a blender (or food processor) along with the lime juice, cumin, chili powder, and salt. (Add the cilantro here if you didn’t smoke it).
- Blend and pulse the ingredients until combined. Taste and adjust the spice to your liking.
- Serve immediately or chill before serving.
