Hello everyone!
First time poster here and wanted to contribute as i know I’ll be learning a lot from this group.

I grew up in Arizona in a Hispanic household and I moved away to the Midwest when my girlfriend finished college because she wanted to be closer to her family. I dearly missed my families cooking so I’ve been just trying to self teach and have simple recipes in my pocket to scratch the itch of my families cooking. This recipe is pretty simple and I make it monthly.

Ingredients:
– 3x Large Tomatoes
– 2x Roma Tomatoes
– 5x Jalapeño peppers
– 2x Serrano peppers
– 1x White onion
– 2x Limes
– 1x Lemon
– 1x Bunch of Cilantro
– 2x cloves of garlic
– Olive Oil
– Goya Adobo all purpose seasoning
– You can go up 1 or down 1 to your own preference for taste/heat

Process:
1) I wash the tomatoes, peppers and toss them in olive oil and lightly coat with them with the APC seasoning.
2) Start up my grill and throw on some mesquite smoking chips. ( I’ve also used our airfryer when I’ve run out of propane ) Once it’s at 300 degrees I start throwing them on
3) I grill the 3 large tomatoes, 2 jalapeño and 1 Serrano. I flip them after about 4-6 minutes. My grill tends to run about 380-400 degrees for this. You want some char but not fully burnt.
4) during the grilling i multi task and I chop the white onion, 2x cloves of garlic, cilantro, 3x jalapeño that aren’t getting grilled. I throw them in the processor with the two juiced limes, and 1 lemon. Plus a small amount of olive oil and additional apc seasoning.
5) Pulse dice a few times.
6) throw in the grilled pieces once complete.
7) pulse dice again
8) taste test and adjust accordingly.
9) then put in a sealed container and let it rest overnight.
10) Enjoy!

For some it might have some heat. I love heat. You can drop the Serrano if you want. Or reduce the whole tomato/pepper list by 1 as well.
I look forward to any feedback, advice, compliments or hate as I’m still learning.

    The consistency looks interesting (in a good way!), almost like a much more fine pico de gallo kinda. Don’t feel like your recipe has much different process than what I’ve done in the past but will have to try and see if I can get the same consistency!
