Instructions
- Turn on the oven’s broiler.

- Broil until the tomatoes and peppers show slight charring. Rotate the pan as needed to distribute charring evenly.
- Remove from oven when tomatoes and peppers are blistered and charred.
- Let the tomatoes and peppers cool. (So they don’t wilt the cilantro!)
- Once cooled, add the tomatoes, peppers and onions to the bowl of a large food processor.

- Pulse briefly until the large chunks are broken up.
- Add the cilantro and pulse until well combined watching for the consistency of salsa you desire.
