Ingredients

  1. 4 jalapeno peppers (2 seeded and minced, 2 whole)
  2. 6 Roma tomatoes, chopped
  3. 4 cloves garlic, minced
  4. 1 red bell pepper, finely diced
  5. 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
  6. 2 dried ancho chile peppers, seeded, cut into short strips and snipped into pieces
  7. 1 tablespoon olive oil
  8. Juice of 1 lime
  9. Chili powder, salt and pepper, to taste
  10. Chili powder, salt and pepper, to taste
  11. Chopped fresh cilantro, parsley or scallions, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the broiler. Roast the 2 whole jalapenos in a pie pan under the broiler, giving the peppers a quarter turn every 2 to 3 minutes, until blackened, about 6 minutes. Remove the stems and skins and discard the seeds (or keep the seeds if you like your salsa extra hot). Chop the jalapenos.
  2. In a bowl, combine the jalapenos with the remaining ingredients. Place in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours for flavor infusion.
