Add some extra flavor to your next gathering with my homemade Fire Roasted Salsa! I’ve always loved hosting Taco Tuesdays with friends, and I’ll admit—there was a time I’d just grab pre-made salsa and guac from the store. But once I realized how simple (and tasty) it is to make them from scratch, I never looked back.
The real magic of this recipe is in the fresh ingredients. Whether you shop local, organic, or pick up your produce from the nearest grocery store, it’s all about what works for you. In this post, I’ll share my go-to version, but feel free to make it your own by adjusting the seasonings to suit your taste.
My hope is that this recipe not only becomes a staple for your own hosting nights, but also helps you create delicious memories with your favorite people.

Ingredient List: Rabia Stevenson’s Fire Roasted Salsa
Ingredients:
12 Roma tomatoes, halved
1 small white onion, cut into thirds
2 jalapeños
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons salt
Cooking the Ingredients
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put all the vegetables on a cooking/baking sheet, and then drizzle your olive oil evenly across them, then shake out a light coating of salt.
- Step 2: Place in oven for 14-18 minutes.
- Step 3: Remove from the oven and let it sit atop the oven for cooling for about 15 minutes.
- Step 4: After cooling, cut peppers in half and then scrape out all the seeds.
- Step 5: Set the tomatoes on a cutting surface and cut ends off. You can choose to either leave or remove the skins.
- Step 6: Place all the ingredients into your food processor.
- Step 7: Pulse just a few times. Then decide if you are done (chunkier texture) or if you want to pulse more for a thinner salsa.
Finishing Touches
Seasoning further to dial the taste: Taste and decide if you want to adjust as needed. Some easy add-ins could be more salt, lime juice, pepper or other spices you have laying around.
Flavors will Enhance: For the best taste, refrigerate for at least 60 minutes to let the flavors blend into one cohesive mixture.
Storage: I recommend using small mason jars and consuming within 4 days.
