Instructions
Roasting the Ingredients
Heat the oven to 400–425°F. Arrange the poblanos, jalapenos, tomatoes, and onions on a foil-lined baking sheet with the skin facing up. Cook for 20–30 minutes until the skins are black and bubbly.
Take them out and immediately put them in a plastic bag to cool for 10–15 minutes.
Peel off the skin using a towel or fork. Take out the stems and seeds from the peppers.
Preparing the Salsa
Put roasted vegetables in a food processor along with garlic, cilantro, a pinch of salt, and vinegar.
Pulse everything together until it looks the way you want it. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Add a bit more salt or vinegar if you think it needs it.
Chill the salsa in the fridge for at least an hour.
