Bring a large, heavy skillet to medium heat. Add the pepitas and cumin seed and toast, stirring often, until fragrant and golden brown. Transfer the seeds to a food processor or blender and pulse until well ground.
Wipe the skillet clean and return it to medium-high heat. Lightly brush the pan with cooking oil or spray, then add the tomatoes, onion, pepper, and garlic cloves. Cook, turning every few minutes, until the vegetables have softened and slightly charred. Transfer the vegetables to a cutting board as they are done to cool.
Roughly chop the tomato and onion and add it to the food processor along with the garlic, pepper, cilantro, lime juice, and sea salt. Puree for about a minute until a smooth paste is formed, gradually adding a few tablespoons of water if desired for a thinner consistency.
Serve immediately or refrigerate in a tightly covered container for up to 3 days.
