Directions:
Lightly oil a large cast iron skillet, and heat to medium high.

Place the tomatoes, tomatillos, onions, garlic, and Serrano chile peppers in the pan and heat, turning until they are softened and charred, about 10 minutes or so. You can also do this under the broiler.

Transfer the softened and charred vegetables and pan juices to a food processor.

Add one Serrano pepper here, and add others as desired after tasting.

Add the salt and cumin and pulse until just slightly chunky.

Add the cilantro and fresh lime juice, and pulse until the cilantro is well-chopped.

Adjust seasoning with salt and more lime juice, as desired.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
