Salsa Restaurant Style - Greg

• 1 can 28 oz. whole peeled tomatoes (10% or less sodium)
• 2 t. pickled jalapeno’s diced fine
• 1 t minced garlic
• 1 T lime juice
• ½ - 1 t sea salt course
• ½ t cumin
• 2 t guajillo chili powder
• 1 T dried cilantro
• ¼ cup sweet onion diced fine
• 1 can green chilies (drained)

Add tomatoes to food processor and blend until smooth. Next add the onions and green chilies and blend for about 3-4 seconds (you want some chunks).

Mix all ingredients in a bowl, cover and refrigerate overnight or at least 2-3 hours.
 
Rolling a couple of tomatoes, peppers and onion in a super hot pan gives the salsa a nice restaurant style "fire roasted" flavor.  Remove when skins are 60% - 70% black.  Maybe something you could incorporate into this recipe.

I wonder about putting them in the smoker for a short time, might be worth a go?
