Cooking Tips: It is best when you grill first the tomatoes, garlic, onions and jalapeno to get that smoked flavor. You may roast it quickly in the higher part of your oven. Place onion and tomatoes, jalapeno on a baking sheet and place it in oven. Cook for about 5-10 minutes or until onions, tomatoes, garlic and jalapeno is wilted and slightly charred on the sides.
