AUTHENTIC FIRE-ROASTED TEX-MEX SALSA



Authentic Fire-Roasted Tex-Mex Salsa image

It has taken me years to perfect this recipe. Los Cucos is my favorite TexMex restaurant in Houston, and I used to eat there every 2 weeks, just so I would order a pint of red salsa to go to take home with me. I was addicted to the stuff, it's the best salsa in the world. I finally mastered my own version, which tastes nearly identical to Los Cucos's red salsa.

BASIC TEX-MEX SALSA

Another quick easy recipe and a family favorite! Just chop, drop, and mix! It's also easy to modify the intensity of the 'heat' by adding or subtracting a little of the jalapeno. An excellent beginning to a Tex-Mex meal, and I even use it on pain lettuce salads instead of dressing!

Time 1h10m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (28 ounce) cans diced stewed tomatoes
1 large onion (white or yellow)
3 -4 jalapenos, chopped into tiny bits
1 bunch cilantro, chopped small
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon vinegar (white or apple cider)

Steps:

  • Put the tomatoes into a large bowl.
  • Chop the onion and cilantro and add to tomatoes.
  • Start with 2 jalapenos, cut in half and take out and discard the seeds (this is where a lot of the heat is located). Slice into thin strips and then chop the jalapenos very tiny. Be care NOT to touch your face or eyes and to wash your hands immediately upon finishing.
  • Add the jalapenos to the mixture and combine.
  • Add oil and vinegar and stir. The colors should be beautifully blended and green should pop deliciously out of the red!
  • If desired add a little salt and pepper to taste.
  • Taste to see if you would like more jalapenos. Add these if desired.
  • Chill about 1 hour and serve cold with tortilla or corn chips.

TEX-MEX SALSA

I created this recipe to taste like my favorite Mexican restaurant that I went to when I was a child - Casa Hernandez. Jalapeno, cilantro, onion, salt, and garlic can be adjusted to taste. Chili powder may give this a nice touch, also. It just depends on your taste. This is a no-cook recipe. I am unsure of the amount of servings this makes.

I got this recipe from a friend who is a cop in Austin and he loves to cook. Not only that but he is really good at getting recipes from some of the great chefs around the Austin area. This recipe is from one of our local Tex-Mex hot spots and is a wonderful salsa recipe. Every time I make it I get requests for jars of it for...

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

15 oz canned whole tomatoes
2 tsp minced garlic or 1 large clove of garlic chopped
1/2 tsp salt
1 jalapeno, chopped (or more to taste)
12 oz can of campbell's tomato juice
2 green onions, chopped
1/2 c fresh cilantro, lightly chopped
2 tsp lime juice

Steps:

  • 1. Put all ingredients in a food processor or blender (reserve 1/2 can of (6 oz) the tomato juice). Blend well for about 10 to 20 seconds on high. Do not puree. Pour into bowl and add remaining tomato juice. Stir well. Serve with tortilla chips
  • 2. For a milder salsa, remove the seeds from the jalapeno before blending.
  • 3. I always double this recipe and make one salsa mild and the other much spicier. *** Please use whole tomatoes and not diced as it will effect the thickness of the salsa.
