Step 1
Start by roughly chopping the tomatoes, cilantro, red onion, jalapeño, and garlic. Toss everything into a food processor along with the lime juice, olive oil, a dash of liquid smoke, black pepper, and chipotle flakes. Give it a few quick pulses until the mixture comes together but still has a bit of texture—don’t overblend. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Then, let it sit for a little while to let the flavors meld before serving.
