I recently entered the "Salsa Bowl" contest at school. I did not win.... It might be because I purposely left out the cilantro. It's one of the ingredients Ina will never use. I'm with her. Having said that, when I made this my husband said it was the best salsa ever. This restaurant-style Fire Roasted Tomato Salsa will become a new staple! Smoky, zesty, and perfectly spiced, this homemade salsa is ideal for any occasion. Featuring roasted Roma tomatoes, tomatillos, peppers, and garlic, it's blended with fresh lime juice and a hint of maple syrup for balanced flavor. Easy to prepare and incredibly versatile, enjoy it as a dip, taco sauce, or to add a burst of flavor to your favorite recipes. And if you have to, add some cilantro. By the way, the winner's salsa was rather splendid.
- Prep: 10 mins
- Cook: 20 mins

Directions
1Preheat your oven to the broil setting on high.
2Arrange the tomatoes cut side up, the tomatillos, onion, jalapeño, habanero, and garlic in a large cast iron skillet. Optional to brush all the ingredients with olive oil. Transfer to the oven and roast for 10-20 minutes, flipping everything except the tomatoes halfway through, and watching the garlic carefully to make sure it doesn't burn.
3Once the ingredients are charred, remove from the oven to let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a food processor and adding the lime juice, cumin, bouillon, salt and maple syrup. Purée or pulse, to reach your desired consistency, and season to taste.
4Chill in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.
