Steps:
- Heat a large skillet to medium high heat. Place tomatoes and peppers in the skillet.
- Continue to saute, rotating the vegetables occasionally, so several sides begin to blister. See photos above. This will take around 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Once cooled, chop off the stems of the peppers, and remove the seeds from the jalapeño (you can also keep some seeds for more heat in your salsa). Cut the vegetables into large pieces.
- Place tomatoes, peppers, onions, lime, and canned tomatoes into a blender and pulse quickly until just mixed (about 5 seconds). Add garlic, cilantro, and bouillon. Pulse for another 15 seconds until well blended but chunky.
- Place in a large bowl and refrigerate until cooled before serving. Serve with your favorite Mexican dish or with chips.

Tips:
- Choose the right tomatoes: Roma tomatoes are the best choice for salsa because they are meaty and have fewer seeds. If you can't find Roma tomatoes, you can use any other type of ripe, firm tomatoes.
- Roast the tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast them in the oven or on the stovetop.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salsa will taste. If you can, use fresh herbs, garlic, and onions.
- Don't over-blend: Salsa should have a chunky texture. If you blend it too much, it will become too smooth.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice or a dash of hot sauce.
Conclusion:
This recipe for Really Yummy Red Salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is perfect for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and nachos. It can also be used as a dipping sauce for chips or vegetables. No matter how you use it, this salsa is sure to be a hit!
