I love making salsa, even more I love eating salsa. I've been known to say (before I was married) that if chips and salsa were a man, I'd marry it!! Add a Diet Coke in the mix, well that's just heaven!!!
I couldn't wait any longer for my tomatoes in my garden so I had to pick up some at the store. You can definitely taste the difference with home grown vs. store bought. Nevertheless, it still turned out really tasty.
I lined the broiler with foil and roasted them until they were black on top.
Then flipped them over to get charred on the bottom
I added the jalapeno to cook for about 15 minutes or charred. Let tomatoes cool in a bowl.
I usually char the tomatoes on the grill but I didn't want to mess with that. It turns out I like using the broiler so much better.
I don't follow a recipe - every time it seems to be different. Everything is to be added to your taste and your liking.
- Tomatoes charred
- Fresh tomatoes
- Cilantro
- Garlic
- Jalapeno (charred - with seeds taken out)
- Onion
- if needed, a can of diced tomatoes (I like the ones with onion and garlic)
- garlic salt (optional)
I use the blender because I like my salsa soupy - I don't like the mess with chunks.
- I chop up the garlic and onion first
- mix in the jalapeno (slice open and remove the seeds)
- mix in the charred tomatoes (with the juices that are in the bowl)
- chop and drop the fresh tomatoes
Taste : )
- add the cilantro
Taste : )
- if needed add the can of tomatoes
Taste : )
- add whatever your little heart desires until you want to marry it.
