Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Halve tomatoes and place cut-side down on a hot dry skillet over high heat. Char 3–4 minutes until blackened, then flip.

  2. Step 2

    Add onion, chile, and garlic clove to the skillet. Char everything together, stirring once, ~2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. Step 3

    Transfer charred vegetables to a blender. Add cilantro, squeeze lime juice, and a pinch of salt.

  4. Step 4

    Blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Taste and adjust salt and lime to balance smoky heat with brightness.

  5. Step 5

    Pour into a serving bowl. Let cool 1 minute, then serve alongside seared suadero beef and warm tortillas.
