Ingredients
  

  • 5 Roma Tomatoes Quartered
  • 5 Heirloom Tomatoes Quartered
  • 1 Red Onion Quartered
  • 6 Garlic Cloves
  • 1 Jalapeno Halved
  • 1 Anaheim Pepper Halved, seeds and stem removed
  • 1 Habanero Pepper Halved, seeds and stem removed
  • ½ Cup Cilantro
  • 1 Juice of lime

Seasonings

  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1.5 teaspoons Cumin
  • 1 teaspoon Brown Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Salt
  • ½ teaspoon Dried Oregano

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your grill to 250-350 degrees. Use the lower temperature for a smokier flavor or the higher cook temp for less smoke flavor.
  • After prepping all of the ingredients place the Roma tomatoes, onion, peppers, and garlic on a grill pan and sprinkle with Kosher salt.
  • Place the grill pan on the smoker and cook until the skins begin to peel and the onion is soft. This will take 30 minutes to an hour depending on your cook temperature.
  • Remove the grill pan from the grill and allow to cool. Place all of the ingredients in a food processor and blend to desired consistency.
  • Place in an airtight container and place in the refrigerator for at least an hour or until you are ready to eat.

Notes

Notes: 
1. To further adjust the smoke level of the salsa smoke more of less of the tomatoes, leaving the others unsmoked. 
2. For a chunkier salsa hand chop the heirloom or beefsteak tomatoes and mix in after the other ingredients are blended.
