Fire roasted tomato salsa Posted on by Rudy's Riviera If you’ve never experienced the incredible flavor of fire roasted tomatoes, you are in for a real treat. Traditional tomato salsas are typically made with either canned or fresh (raw) tomatoes. Sure, they taste good, but fire roasting adds a depth of flavor to salsa that you will never get in a fresh pico de gallo, and especially not from a store bought salsa. Whether you want to grill, broil, or fire roast tomatoes over an open flame isn’t really all that important. As long as the method you use works to caramelize the sugars in the fruit, you are set. Serving your fire roasted salsa This salsa, as any, is best served cold. Serve traditionally with quick homemade tortilla chips or make it a side dish, well more a condiment, of a full Mexican platter.
