Mexicanfood has always been a favorite of mine. I grew up on it, and it reminds me so much of my childhood! Eating at an authentic Mexican restaurant was always my happy place. And my favorite part? The chips and salsa of course! I always judged a delicious Mexican restaurant by first rating their salsa. My favorite meal is typically chicken enchiladas, or Chile rellenos that must be covered in delicious salsa.

For years, I have tried to perfect the absolute best homemade salsa. When This one is absolutely it!! This salsa elevates any Mexican meal, taco bowl recipe, or just as a side dip for party guests! I learned some key tips from a Mexican friend of mine, and my life was forever changed.


As a nutritionist, I am always trying to make some of my favorite Mexican dishes a little lighter. This helps me to know exactly what I am putting in our food. Salsa is no different! An amazing salsa recipe with real ingredients makes all the difference in eating a delicious and restaurant style Mexican meal.


The problem we had though, was what to do with the Tomatoes after roasting them, Typically other salsa recipes would remove the skin and seeds, but that seems kind of meaningless in this instance. Could you share your method here please?


Please stop perpetuating the myth that chile seeds have heat. They do not. The heat is in the pith, or placental tissue. The seeds only have residual heat from being in contact with the placenta. No seeds actually contain capsaicin.




I really enjoyed your recipe! The question I have can you canned this recipe? I made 5 pints out this recipe but I made 2 batches. I was afraid to canned so I warmed up the salsa then placed in my jars and bathed for 20 minutes. Was it necessary for me to warm up the salsa? Thank you!




I canned this last year, and it got even better! My husband and kids devour every jar we open. It thickens over time as well since the veggies reabsorb some of the liquid. I used a water bath for mine at 20 minutes. I did it directly as I finished preparing it, so it was still warm at the time it was canned. I hope this helps!

Most restaurant style salsas use canned tomatoes to give that extra rich/sweet taste of tomatoes. I prefer the fresh (more of salsa Fresca), but find that combining the 2 gives it exactly the right taste/texture!




This was the taste I have been searching for! I have usually roasted my vegetables in the broiler but using the pan worked out wonderfully. I used a Serrano chili versus a poblano along with a white onion instead of the green onion. This turned out a salsa that was wonderful. I am a salsa addict and my cravings were assuaged. I loved the texture. I agree that leaving it a bit chunky is perfect.


I must voice my admiration for your kindness giving support to folks who absolutely need guidance on this area of interest. Your real dedication to passing the solution along came to be wonderfully practical and has frequently allowed workers just like me to achieve their targets. The helpful facts means much a person like me and much more to my mates. Warm regards; from everyone of us.


This recipe tasted wonderful, especially next day. I like cilantro a lot but I felt like there was a little bit too much cilantro flavor in the end result. Next time I will try half the amount called for in the recipe.


Living in California for so many years meant, among other things, having the best authentic Mexican food available. We often ate at Mexican restaurants and food trucks and have tried many different types of salsas but, when it came to salsa recipes our homemade fresh Mexican salsa recipe beat any restaurant-style or store bought salsa by far!


In this easy recipe we char the tomatoes and chiles in a dry pan (I love using a cast iron skillet for this). Charring can be done on an open flame or under the broiler. This is just an additional, super quick and easy step that makes all the difference and adds extra flavor.


No, vinegar is not an ingredient used to make authentic Mexican salsa or salsa roja. Tomatoes are already acidic and vinegar is a strong sour ingredient that would only make the salsa more acidic and not in a good way. A little bit of lime juice however, adds a hint of fresh citrus flavor without overpowering it or making the salsa astringent. If lime juice is not available, use fresh lemon juice.


This was the third time I Have made this recipe this season using fresh tomatoes and jalapeos from my garden and I have to say its as authentic as it gets! It only last a couple of days and everyone loves it! Roasting the tomatoes and peppers is the ticket. No one believes me when I say it only has salt and no other seasoning. I wont make it any other way. Thanks for the great recipe!


Ok, muchacha-this salsa was OFF THE HOOK delicious, this was the real deal, The way I make it and suggest everyone read her tips and directions. Excellent on everything ! Complemented my homemade tri- color/flavored tortilla chips and homemade picadillo.


We all love your salsa de roja very much and I usually make every two weeks 2 new jars. They have 5 stars from me for the easy way to make the it plus the taste is great.

Now, I have a lot of tomatoes and like to canning some of with the salsa de Roja recipe. That would include a second cooking step after the charring. Plus I decided to leave the cilantro out and add it after I open the jar. Do you think that will work??


There are many different types of salsas in Mexican cuisine. That said, one of the most popular and well known is definitely salsa roja. It makes an appearance at almost every Mexican restaurant, and is almost always served with meals in Mexican homes.


My mom always made this salsa roja recipe and served it with homemade tortilla chips and other recipes, like huevos rancheros. It is such a simple recipe, and it is better than anything that you can buy in the store.


This is a great salsa for beginners in Mexican cuisine. There are other salsas that are a little bit more complicated, and which require that you char the tomatoes and other veggies first. This salsa roja recipe, however, just requires that you blend the raw vegetables together, and then cook them with a bit of olive oil before adding onions and cilantro.


Made it today however couldn't find fresh Roma tomatoes so popped ina tin (14oz) of baby roma. Threw everything in a small chopper and WOW. I have been looking for a simple tasty salsa for the longest, so thank you for sharing.


Salsa. And chips. It's a food group. I could literally eat it all day and be happy. Unless the salsa is awful. There is nothing worse than a bad-tasting salsa. I personally need salsa with some flavor, a little pizzaz. So I obviously had to jump in and make my own!


My version of fresh Mexican salsa has a lot of different flavors going on. A little fresh tomato, but also a touch of fire-roasted flavor. I loved the combo of these two to make the ultimate end result!


Obviously mine! Haha! Totally kidding, kinda. The best salsa is a personal opinion but I believe that it needs to be flavorful! I like all kinds of salsa, so first you should nail down what you are looking for in flavor.


This depends on the type of salsa you want. I have recipes for both a homemade roasted salsa (in my cookbook) and this more fresh salsa recipe and use both. I like the roasted one for eating but also for using in enchiladas and other baked recipes too.


So different recipes use different tomatoes. If you are using only roasted tomatoes that will give you a more deep roasted flavor. If you are using mostly fresh tomatoes, you will have a fresher lighter flavor. And there is even tomatillos for a more tangy type salsa!


This depends on the end result you are going for. For this recipe, I do not peel them. I don't find the need since it is blended but if you are making it chunky and you do not like the texture of the skins, then definitely peel them.


This salsa will last about 5-6 days in an airtight container in the fridge. The good news is that it is so delish, it probably won't last that long! If you can't eat it all within that time frame, I would recommend making a half recipe.


This is a mild salsa recipe, perfect for all ages. If you are a spice addict (like me), you can add some fresh jalapeos, cayenne pepper or even chipotle pepper to spicy it up. You could also add some hot sauce if you want some extra tang with the spice.


Also meant to tell you that I think using canned fire roasted tomatoes with fresh tomatoes is genius. Tomorrow adding black beans and corn. Gonna throw it on a pizza, add some cheese.....oh happy day!


Salsa IS its own food group. Or at least it should be and while we're at that we could decide it counts as one of your five a day, too ;). I eat salsa every day yet sadly can't find my favourite organic brand [and there actually is only one brand and kind of organic salsa available in anyway] anymore living in the countryside now. The only ones available contain sugar and even though it's not a ton I don't like the fact. At least my dippers are vegetables.

Enough rambling, your recipe sounds awesome. I can't eat raw onions, though, and fire-roasted tomatoes are not sold over here. Do you have any ideas regarding those two points?


Oh it definitely counts as one of the five ? Thank you so much! Hmmm, no raw onions is a tough one but here is my suggestion: I'd try sauting them a little, almost until they brown but not completely. Then for the tomatoes try roasting some yourself in the oven. That way you still get both the fresh and roasted feel. You can roast them with the garlic if you're using the roasted garlic instead of the fresh. Let me know how it turns out! It'll be a new trial!
