I'm looking for a salsa recipe.?

Question

I had it in Cancun and sometimes I get it at Mexican restaurants. It's just onions, tomatoes and cilantro I think, but that's not how you make it, I've tried. I'm doing something wrong. I don't want the runny salsa. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Answer 1

3 Ripe Tomatoes chopped in a small dice
½ of a Red Onion chopped in a small dice
2 Fresh Jalapenos, minced
½ a bunch of fresh Cilantro minced
The juice of one lime

combine all ingredients and mix, refrigerate and serve

Answer 2

Fire Roasted Salsa 3 pounds of plum tomatoes 2 jalapenos 7 ounce can chipotle chiles in adob sauce 1 large onion quartered 4 green onions trimmed to 5 inches 6 teaspoons chopped garlic 1/2 bunch cilantro 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon lime juice 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 1/4 teaspoon cumin 1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper 1 tablespoon olive oil You can roast the veggies on a grill, but I find it easier to chop up the veggies, brush them with olive oil and fry them in my cast iron skillet. The tomatoes get that black charring that you are looking for, so the cast iron skillet might be the way to go if a BBQ is not easy for you to do. The tomatoes take about 10 minutes per side. Put jalapenos (remove stems first. You can de-seed for a milder version), 1/2 the can of chipotles & sauce, tomatoes, onions & cilantron into a food processor. Pulse until it is a consistency that you like. Add the remaining ingredients and mix together in a bowl. This recipe makes a lot, so I usually freeze 1/2 a batch. You can use the salsa as a cooking sauce for chicken or pork. Oooh, is it yummy! Easy salsa recipe Makes 4 cups 3 plum tomatoes 1 serrano chile 1 teaspoon cilantro 1/2 vidalia onion 12 ounce can of Campbells tomato juice salt & pepper to taste Finely chop all ingredients and mix together. Refrigerate overnight. It really tastes better when the flavors have had time in the fridge to co-mingle. Doctor's Special When I want salsa and I'm feeling lazy, I make this. 1 jar any store bought salsa 1 vidalia onion 1-2 jalapenos (depends on how hot you like it) 3 plum tomatoes 1 teaspoon olive oil salt & pepper to taste dice the onion, pepper & tomatoes. Add olive oil, jar of salsa and stir together. taste and add salt & pepper as needed. Everyone likes this salsa. I call it the doctor's special because it is doctored up store bought.

Answer 3

I've encountered the same problem all of my life and then a high school student gave a recipe that was a no brainer.

Take 3 fresh ripe tomatoes or 1 can of whole tomatoes
2 jalapenos or more, depending on hot you like it(from a can or glass jar)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
salt to taste
a pinch of ground koriander or to taste

If you use fresh tomatoes, cut in quarters and remove the seeds. Place in the cuisinart of mixer with jalapenos and garlic powder. Mix and if you want it a little hotter or more juice add the sap from the jalapeno jar. Add salt to taste. Serve immediately.

Answer 4

Yes, pico de gallo it is mostly onion, tomato and cilantro. Here is the recipe I use.

about
5 Roma tomatoes coarsely chopped
1/2 red onion diced small
1 bell pepper chopped
cilantro diced small (to taste)
juice of 1lime (I recommend rolling the lime on the counter first to soften the pulp)
salt to taste

if you want it spicy add fresh jalepeno.

Answer 5

It's called Pico de Gallo & it's made of exactly what you thought......onions, tomatoes & cilantro. Yes you are doing something wrong if it's runny...what exactly are you doing?? Just dice everything up in big chunks & lightly mix it together...it shouldn't be runny. You can also buy the stuff already freshly made at some grocery stores too.
