Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 lime, juiced
• 2 cloves garlic, smashed
• 10 fresh jalapeno peppers
• 2 tomatoes
• 1 white onion, quartered
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro, or more to taste

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place jalapenos in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Simmer until jalapenos soften and begin to lose their shine, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the jalapenos with a slotted spoon, chop off the stem, and place them in a blender. Add the tomatoes and boil for 2 to 3 minutes to loosen the skin. Peel the skin from the tomatoes and add tomatoes to the blender.

Step 2

Place the onion, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, salt, and black pepper in the blender with the jalapenos and tomatoes. Blend to desired consistency.
