BEST EVER CILANTRO CORN SALSA
This is a recipe I have been making for years. It is the number one dish people ask me to bring to parties. It is great with tortilla chips or on top of grilled chicken or steak. It also makes a wonderful filling for vegetarian tacos.

BEST EVER SALSA
This recipe is so close to the Salsa served at Pappasitos that you will swear you are there. Every time I serve this people ask for the recipe. Best part is that it is so easy and doesn't require fresh tomatoes so it works all winter.

Steps:
- Put all ingredients into blender and mix or pulse until blended.
- Do not liquify.
- Note: Seeds in peppers determine heat so remove if you like mild salsa. I use 2 peppers and seeds from one for medium to hot salsa.
Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes: Use the ripest, juiciest tomatoes you can find. If you're using tomatoes from the store, let them ripen on the counter for a few days before using them.
- Choose the right peppers: The type of peppers you use will determine the heat level of your salsa. For a mild salsa, use green bell peppers. For a medium salsa, use poblano peppers. For a hot salsa, use serrano or habanero peppers.
- Roast your tomatoes and peppers: Roasting the tomatoes and peppers will give your salsa a smoky, roasted flavor. To roast the tomatoes, place them on a baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil. Roast them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-30 minutes, or until they are softened and lightly browned. To roast the peppers, place them on a baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil. Roast them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 15-20 minutes, or until they are softened and lightly charred.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil, and oregano, will add a lot of flavor to your salsa. Chop them finely before adding them to the salsa.
- Don't over-blend: Over-blending your salsa will make it too smooth and thin. Pulse the salsa in a food processor or blender until it reaches your desired consistency.
