Start by tossing tomatoes,(I used a carton of cherry tomatoes but any will do) 2-3 jalapeños, 2-3 garlic cloves, onto a smoker tray lined with foil or parchment paper. If you like a super smokey flavor you can put the onion into the smoker as well, I prefer the onion added fresh after the peppers, tomatoes, and garlic are smoked.

Get the smoke going in your smoker and turn smoker to medium-high heat. (around 300 degrees) Smoke the vegetables for 45 mins. (I used apple wood bisquettes however any type will work fine) If you are using a Trager type grill you can use a metal pie pan and place ingredients directly over the coals.

Remove the tray from the smoker and place ingredients into the food processor or blender. If you prefer a more mild salsa then remove the seeds from the jalapeno before adding it to the bowl. Add in a handful of fresh cilantro, 1/2 of a large red onion, and a tsp of salt.

Squeeze in the juice of 1 lime. Massage the lime before cutting to get the most juice for your squeeze.

Blend the ingredients for 20-30 seconds until well chopped. Add more salt or lime to taste. Transfer to a bowl and serve with chips.
