Fire Roasted Tomato Salsa image

Grilling the tomatoes, green chilies and jalapenos gives this salsa an outdoors flavor to match the flavor of my Marinated Grilled Beef Fajitas, recipe #30388 or just served with some crisp tortilla chips. Add more green chilies and jalapenos if desired for a hotter taste.
