Smoked Tomato Salsa

I love fresh salsa. I also love to smoke things. So, I combined them in this recipe and the results were spot on.  There is just enough smoke to add a different dimension of flavor, but the added lime juice still gives it that fresh pop.  The smoky citrusy flavors go great with chips or use it for a topping on most Mexican food.
 
This will make about 7 cups of salsa.

Notes

  • I like to use a blender fir this salsa so it has a smoother consistency. If you prefer chunkier salsa use a food processor
  • For more heat add in more Fresno chili or crushed red pepper flakes.
