I love Mexican food. I could eat it everyday and be happy. I often get a craving for it and I won’t stop. I love to go to restaurants and eat the chips and salsa. I can crush a cup of salsa and chips in record time. It is embarrassing.
Part of my 26 before 27 challenge (which I am super behind on! AH!) was to make fresh salsa. I decided this Cinco de Mayo I was making salsa!
I made it the night before, and thank goodness I did, the first batch was SO HOT ( my dad and brother called me a wimp!) I learned to take out ALL the seeds for round two (which I made the next day)
It was so easy!! Seriously – I won’t be buying from the jar anymore!! EVER.
Ready….Vamonos!
I adapted this from Created by Diane
Ingredients:
1 clove of garlic
4-5 roma tomatoes
1 small onion
1/2-1 jalapeño (depending on the amount of heat you want)
handful of cilantro
salt
Directions:
Deseed and devein the pepper.
Grill the pepper and tomatoes
Rough chop the onion and peel your garlic.
Carefully quarter the tomatoes and pepper
Bust out our old 70’s food processor (or newer model if you are a lucky duck)
(Picture from another recipe)
Put tomatoes, garlic pepper and onion in the food processor and pulse.
Add cilantro and pulse a little more. 
Add salt to taste.
Chow down!
This isn’t perfect, and every time I make it I am going to tweak it until I get it like the restaurants. Suggestions?
My suggestion is you run out and buy the stuff and chow down NOW! (Wish I could right now! Darn it!)
