GOOD TASTE: Roasted Tomato Salsa




Sadly, I didn’t have the best tomato crop this year. The tomatoes looked good but they didn’t have that home grown amazing taste and they were a tad on the mushy side. I was disappointed because I love fresh salsa and fresh thin sliced tomatoes on my sandwiches.

I think I actually preferred this salsa to my usual fresh salsa. It’s hard to choose especially when there’s tortilla chips involved.
Here’s the step-by-step and the recipe card.

It’s just not the same to eat homemade salsa or Mexican food with chips that are sold on the same shelf as a potato chip. Yes, I know what real tortilla chips are fried in but I don’t care.
