I roast everything pictured and add chicken bullion and a squeeze of lime and cilantro. This is like my third batch and I used the grill to add a tad more flavor. This batch I had two jalapenos and a serrano pepper (did add some heat to it) but still felt like it was missing something.

Salt or a bit of fat. Tomatoes have the acid.
because it looks like a frying pan full of vegetables
I really feel like raw onion adds alot of bite and plays off the sweetness of cooked tomatoes.
salt
Cumin & cilantro
Chicken bullion or msg. Additional acid.
You forgot to add salt. I would have grilled everything, pulse blended and then proceed to fry it in that pan
for me the answer is usaually salt or lime is missing if it seems bland. You could try adding other herbs too – oregano is pretty common. you can also season at different points in the salsa making process to help with making sure everything is sesasoned – ie when grilling and while in the blender / food processor.
Another idea could be to just add some seasoning to just one bite – ie take a spoonful, add a little salt, mix it a little, and does that taste better to you? – that could let you hone in the flavor and experiment with much less hassle of making whole new batches.
