- Roast & Prep
- If not already roasted, roast your Hatch chiles over an open flame or under a broiler until the skin is blistered and charred. Place in a sealed bag or covered bowl to steam for 10 minutes. Peel off the skin, remove the seeds and stems.
- Blend It Up - In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted chiles, garlic, onion, tomato (if using), lime juice, and cilantro. Blend until smooth or leave slightly chunky—your choice!
- Season & Adjust - Add salt to taste. If the salsa is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water until you reach your desired consistency.
- Chill & Serve - Let it sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend. Serve chilled or at room temp with chips, tacos, grilled meats, or eggs.
