Homemade Mexican Salsa

This is THIRD attempt on posting this, but you can see that it's that good!! lol

HOMEMADE SALSA-A LA MEXICAN STYLE

Beware of its authenticity!

Homemade Salsa:

Ingredients:

2-4 Tomatoes (I like Roma)

1-2 cloves of garlic (less or more is good)

a few pinches of cilantro (as you like)

a 1/2 tsp. of salt (more or less is good)

(the salt will take away the sweetness from the tomato)

1-2 Jalapenos (depends on your macho-ness)

1/4 onion (more or less is okay)

Sorry people, but you will have to experiment and create your own salsa to your liking, but this is the general recipe.

Now, you can either make this 1-3 ways.

1. boil

2. Charboil on frying pan

3. Fresh it

1. Boiling: boil the tomatoes and japalenos in a small pot. peel tomato skin and dump all other ingredients into blender. Blend until desired texture

2. Smokey style: Slice tomatoes in half. Put face down onto hot frying pan (ungreased) with jalapenos and garlic. when tomato skin falls off easily and there are beautiful burn marks on everything, dump in with the rest of the ingredients and blend!

3. Dump all ingredients into the blender and blend to your desired texture.

THAT'S IT.

I know, it's easy! It took me a few tries to get the flavoring that I loved, but once you get it down, you would be a weirdo to go back to the preservative filled nasty tomato sauce salsa that the stores have!! Trust me.

Oh and yes, don't expect to be kissing anyone for a while...

or be sure to feed it to your husband too. lol

Other Mojo's Mexican Tips! (friendly on your budget too!)

1. Add water to can of refried beans. This not only increases amount of beans, but also makes it less BEANY!! (lol) I just hate it when I get a mouthful of BEANS I can't swallow!

Restaurants will do this too! :)

and As far as cooking refried beans: here's another Mexican tip: heat 1-2 tbs. oil. Add 2-3 slivers of onions into it, fry a little (add garlic if you wish!) and then add the can of beans+water! It's much more flavorful!

2. Add water to your Guacamole! Avocados absorb so much water!

So stretch that guacamole, especially if you are trying to feed a lot of guacamole lovers!

3. Add water to your Sour cream! Ever have a mouthful of white sour cream!? Not anymore! When serving Sour cream with something, scoop some into a bowl, then add a bit of water and stir until the desired consistency.

Then add salt, pepper and even some chili pepper for some coloring! It's beautiful!

Okay--hope this helps! Try it out! Don't hesitate to call/email/FB/come over if you have any questions! :)

Buen Provecho!
