How do you make salsa?

Question

Also, how do you make tortilla or corn chips? I ate at a Mexican restaurant the other day and we had salsa and tortilla chips as an appetizer....so good.

Thanks for the help!

Answer 1

Salsa

1 large tomato
3 Serrano chiles or 2 jalapeño chiles, stemmed
1 small onion
1 clove garlic, peeled
8 to 10 sprigs fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cider vinegar or freshly squeezed lime juice

Preparation:

Core the tomato, seed if desired. Chop it very finely (no pieces larger that 1/16 inch) and scoop into a small bowl. If you want a milder sauce, seed the chiles, then chop very finely and add to the tomatoes. Finely chop the onion and garlic and add to the bowl along with the cilantro. Stir in the salt, vinegar or lime juice and 1 tablespoon water. Let the flavors blend for 1/2 hour or so before serving.

Answer 2

Jeff's Salsa

(2) 28 oz cans petite diced tomatoes ( or equiv. fresh)
3 Jalapeno Peppers
3 Serrano Peppers
1 green Chili
1 Garlic clove
1 Lrg Onion
1 T. Salt
1 T Cumin
Drain the liquid from the cans of tomatoes, then dump the tomatoes into a large bowl. Chop the onion coarsely and add to the bowl. Press and mince the garlic. Add to the bowl. Remove the seeds from the peppers - some remaining small seeds are ok. Chop the peppers and the chili finely. Warning! Keep hands away from face!! Wear latex gloves if possible.
Add the peppers to the bowl. Add the salt and cumin. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate overnight for best potency.
Notes: Some recipes call for lemon or lime juice.
Cilantro is also commonly used.
Reduce or eliminate the garlic if you prefer.
Tweak to your preferences.
Enjoy!
