Categories     Appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 Roma tomatoes
1/2 medium yellow or sweet onion
1/4 C finely chopped cilantro
2 jalapenos
1/4 C vinegar, (skinny)
2-3 tsp salt
2 tsp sugar
1 tsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp chili powder
1/4-1/2 lime

Steps:

  • Finely dice tomatoes & onion and place in medium glass mixing bowl. Add chopped cilantro.
  • Slice jalapenos in half to remove the seeds and the membrane than that holds them. Finely dice peppers and add to tomatoes and onion. (Note: The membrane is where the heat of the pepper comes from. How much of the membrane you leave in the pepper will determine the heat of your salsa. You may want to wear gloves while you work with the jalapenos. If not, wash hands thoroughly with dish washing liquid afterwards and do not touch face.)
  • Add vinegar, garlic, chili powder and 2 tsp of salt and sugar. Toss well. Taste to determine if another tsp of salt and/or sugar is needed.
  • Squeeze lime over salsa. Toss once more. Cover and refrigerate or serve immediately with tortilla chips or with any Tex Mex dish.

SPICY SALSA

This salsa is a spicy fresh addition to any Mexican meal and it's great on breakfast burritos. If you'd like to decrease the heat of the jalapenos, remove the seeds and membranes from the peppers before dicing them.

SALSA CRIOLLA

This popular Peruvian condiment requires only five ingredients, but it's bursting with flavor. Slivered onions and fresh peppers are marinated in lime juice to create a tangy and spicy relish. Traditionally, the salsa is made with fresh aji amarillo chiles, which can be difficult to find; luckily, a combination of orange bell pepper and serrano chiles deliver similar flavor, color and heat. (For a milder salsa, remove the seeds from the serrano before using.) Most often served with arroz con pollo, this bright relish is also a perfect accompaniment to roasted chicken, and makes a great topping on tacos and sandwiches. The salsa can be refrigerated for three days.
