MY tasty salsa 10/10

I don’t know how much you like salsa but we LOVE it! I think it’s expensive and stupid to buy crappy salsa at the store just to have on hand for when we want it so I’ve been making my own. I’ll list the ingredients and how-to but it’s always changing and I never measure. But try your own and you’ll find out how easy, tasty and satisfying it can be. It freezes well too, so make a big batch and tuck some into the freezer for later…

MY damned-good salsa
from my own brain and taste buds

Stuff:
can crushed tomats
Can of diced tomats, drained
Jalepeno fresh or canned
Onion
Garlic
Roasted red peppers
Lime juice
Cilantro
**this is a very important key ingredient: chipolte chili powder which and a little heat, a lot of spice, and tons of smoky, tasty goodness
this time I added some corn too, turned out great
cyanne pepper
black pepper
salt

mostly I take the chunky things like onion, pepper, garlic, cilantro and half the corn and blend them until fairly smooth. It helps a ton if you have a hand blender; a godsend for stuff like this! Then I mix it with the tomatoes and other stuff, like spices, and stir it really well. After letting it sit a bit I dump off any really watery stuff from the top. My goal is a thick chunky salsa with a really rich, spicy taste. I can always add heat later with more cyanne pepper or hot sauce or something but I always start pretty weak with the heat (also because I like it hotter than most but I still want to share my salsa with my friends!)

this is one of those recipes that’s really cheap and easy to make and is great for experimenting. You can add or take away whatever you want and change the amounts of what you add too. And it keeps so well! Something about the acidity in salsa keeps mold and bacteria away for ages, which also means it’ll pack to a picnic really well too. Keep eating!
