The tomatoes are turning bright red and yellow. The peppers are elongating and ripe. It’s time to make salsa! Here is a salsa recipe that is easy to make, sassy and spicy!
Ingredients
5 fresh tomatoes
2 jalapeno peppers
1 pasilla pepper
1 bunch of cilantro, wash well and chop
1 medium onion, chopped
3 limes, juiced
5 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Start with fresh tomatoes.
Slice the tomatoes and then cut into cubes. Place in a glass mixing bowl.
Cut the peppers from top to bottom and remove the seeds. I usually wear gloves when I do this as the oils from the peppers will burn if you touch your eyes, nose or mouth. Add to the tomatoes and stir to blend.
Add the remaining ingredients. Let this sit in the refrigerator for a day or two before using. Stir this up occasionally. It will then look like this:
I use my salsa in other foods, like guacamole, burritos, quesadillas, soup, and I also use it with just plain tortilla chips. Enjoy!
AHH YUM! After seeing this, I have a strong urge to go to the store to get tortilla chips! Looks so good!!
