homemade salsa

MMMMM that sounds good!!! especially with the beans and corn!! i like it and gotta try that.

Here's my Recipe:

1 large can of diced or crushed tomatoes
1 Can of El Pato tomato sauce (in the Hispanic food section of the grocery store)
1 Can regular tomato sauce
1 or 2 Jalapenos (depending on how hot you want it...the El Pato already has a good kick, but i live in So Cal and would eat Mexican food every day if i could, so i LOVE hot salsa)

Put all of that in a blender and blend away. then add....

1 or 2 cut up tomatoes (depending on how chunky you like it, i like mine a little more saucey as opposed to Pico De Gallo-ish, so sometimes i don't add any extra tomatoes at all)
3-4 stalks of chopped up green onion including the white part (you can add regular onion instead if you want)
Garlic Salt
Black Pepper
Cilantro to taste (i put in a lot because i loooooove it so)
Lime juice (lots of it...this too is to taste, i put in prob close to 3-4 tbsp. )

This salsa is best after it sits a couple days, but it usually doesn't last long in our house once i make a batch. You HAVE to taste it quite a bit as you are making it...especially when it comes to adding the Garlic Salt, Black Pepper and Lime juice. Trust me, you will KNOW when it's right! YUMMMY!

That sounds yummy. I LOVE homemade salsa with slow cooked pinto and/or black beans. My boyfriend from mexico makes his salsa every now and then and I LOVE it. I can eat a full cup or two of it with beans alone! Here's how he makes it:

-Tomatoes
-Yellow or white onions
-Fresh jalapenos
-Cilantro (minced)
-Salt

Directions:

-CHAR the tomatoes, onions and jalapenos on the hibatchi/grill until all sides are charred - this is key! This is what makes the delicious flavor!
-Blend all ingredients in blender until the desired consistency - I like mine chunky, but sometimes I like it thinner.
-Pour into bowl, then add minced fresh cilantro and salt (to your taste) and mix. Voila! Delicious homemade salsa! LOVE IT!

I'm not Mexican, but this is how I make my salsa as well, minus the charring. I also add lime juice. I will definately try the charring next time, sounds delish!
