Salsa de Molcajete | Rick Bayless Taco Manual

Roast the tomatoes, onion, and jalapeño peppers on a hot skillet or grill until charred and softened, about 10-15 minutes.

Remove the roasted vegetables from the heat and let them cool slightly.

Peel the garlic cloves and add them to a molcajete (or mortar and pestle).

Add the roasted tomatoes, onion, and jalapeños to the molcajete.

Mash the ingredients together until you reach your desired consistency (smooth or chunky).

Add the chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the mixture.

Mix everything together well to combine the flavors.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a condiment for tacos.
