Yields
Makes 2 1/2 cups



Total Time
1 hr

This is our take on the top-secret salsa from Al & Bea's Mexican Food in Los Angeles. To re-create their bean and cheese burritos, wrap gooey refried beans and shredded cheddar cheese in a tortilla. Then add this salsa to amp it up.

 4 Roma tomatoes, quartered
 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
 1/2 cup chopped, drained canned jalapeños
 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Step 1
1

Finely chop tomatoes in a food processor.

Step 2
2

In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Cook onion until softened, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to low and add tomatoes, jalapeños, salt, and 1/2 cup water. Cook, uncovered, until sauce has thickened and lightened in color, about 45 minutes. If sauce is chunky, return to food processor and whirl until finely chopped.
