Tomato Salsa without Onions

Description

My mother-in-law loves Tex-Mex but has an onion allergy. After several attempts, I invented an authentic tasting salsa that derives some of it’s smokey flavor from the roasted pepper. I’ve taken to roasting the peppers in bulk so I can always have some on hand.
