Valentina's Charred Tomato Salsa

Directions

1. 1.

   Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Cook tomatoes, stirring occasionally, until slightly charred, 7–10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until saucy and juices are thickened, 6–8 minutes. Let cool slightly.

2. 2.

   Transfer tomatoes to a blender and add onion, garlic, chile, cilantro, and lime juice. Purée on high until mostly smooth but still with some texture; season salsa with salt.

3. 3.

   Salsa can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.
