If you are a regular reader, you know that I am a fan of Mexican food, and one of my favorite snacks are chips with salsa.

I've already made Red Tomato Salsa and Tomatillo Salsa, and now I want to share with you anther favorite salsa recipe, Roasted Tomato Salsa. This was absolutely delicious and more than worth the effort!

I like fire roasting the veggies for tomato salsa or salsa verde recipes, definitely concentrates the flavors.
