Ingredients
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, or more to taste
- 1 yellow onion, roughly chopped
- 8 cloves garlic, unpeeled
- 3 jalape?o peppers, sliced, or to taste
- 1/3 cup firmly packed fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 lime, juiced
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
- 1 pinch dried oregano

Directions
Step 1
Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and brush with olive oil.
Step 2
Spread tomatoes, onion, garlic, and jalape?o peppers onto prepared baking sheet.
Step 3
Cook under the preheated broiler for 5 minutes. Turn the baking sheet and continue broiling until vegetables are charred, about 5 minutes more. Cool slightly.
Step 4
Remove garlic from skins; discard skins.
Step 5
Blend tomatoes, onion, peeled garlic, jalape?os, any accumulated juices from the baking sheet, cilantro leaves, lime juice, cumin, cayenne pepper, and oregano in a blender until salsa is smooth. Transfer to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until flavors blend, at least 2 hours. Season with salt and black pepper.
