SALSA CHILI

You'll need just five ingredients to stir up this quick-and-easy chili from Jane Bone of Cape Coral, Florida. "We like to use medium salsa for zippy flavor, but sometimes I use half mild and half medium," she notes. "Sprinkle hearty servings with shredded cheddar cheese and other tasty toppings," Jane suggests.

Categories     appetizer

Time 2h

Yield 36 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 28-ounce can whole tomatoes with juice
18 roast poblano chiles
1 1/2 cups fresh cilantro leaves (or more to taste!)
3/4 cup chopped onion
3 clove garlic, minced
3 whole jalapeno, quartered and sliced thin, with seeds and membrane
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 whole limes, juiced

Steps:

  • Roast the poblano chiles one-by-one over the flame of your stovetop, using metal tongs to hold them, until the skin is totally charred. (If you don't have a gas stove, you can use an outdoor grill OR place them on a baking sheet directly under your oven's broiler.) When the skin is totally blackened, place the chiles in a large resealable plastic bag and seal the bag to allow the chiles to sweat for a good 20 minutes. Remove the chiles and use a knife to scrape off most of the blackened skin. Slice the chiles in half lengthwise, and scrape out the seeds and membranes.
  • Divide the ingredients into 3 batches so they will fit into a 12-cup processor
  • Combine whole tomatoes, roast chiles, cilantro, onions, garlic, jalapeno, cumin, salt, sugar and lime juice in a blender or food processor.
  • Pulse until you get the salsa to the consistency you'd like. I do about 10 to 15 pulses. Test seasonings with a tortilla chip and adjust as needed.
  • Refrigerate the salsa for at least an hour before serving.

EASY AND QUICK GROUND BEEF AND SALSA CHILI



Easy and Quick Ground Beef and Salsa Chili image

This meal can be on the table in around an hour, even faster if you have freezer-ready ground beef mix, or you can simmer it for longer. If you do not have any chili seasoning mix use about 2-4 tablespoons chili powder instead, you can substitute 2 cups tomato sauce mixed with 1 cup water in place of tomato juice. This is great served with crostini or crusty buns

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
1 large onion, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic
1 -2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped, optional (add in if you like spicy)
1 small green bell pepper, chopped (optional)
3 cups tomato juice (make sure it is a good quality tomato juice, I use Heinz)
1 (12 ounce) jar thick & chunky salsa (about 1-1/2 cups)
1 (15 ounce) can red kidney beans or 1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can tomato soup, undiluted
chili seasoning mix (packaged or homemade, any amount to taste, you can use half package or all of the package)
shredded cheddar cheese
chopped onion (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, cook the ground beef with onion, garlic, jalapeno and green pepper (if using) .
  • Stir in tomato juice, salsa, beans, undrained tomatoes, tomato soup and chili seasoning mix; mix well to combine and bring to a boil.
  • Simmer, covered for about 40-45 minutes (can cook longer if desired).
  • Serve in bowls and top with grated cheese and onions.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tomatoes: Roma tomatoes are the best choice for salsa because they are meaty and have fewer seeds. If you can't find Roma tomatoes, you can use any other type of tomato, but you may need to remove the seeds first.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your salsa the best flavor. If you can, use tomatoes, onions, and cilantro that are in season. You can also use canned tomatoes, but fresh tomatoes will always taste better.
  • Roast your tomatoes: Roasting tomatoes brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. If you have time, roast your tomatoes before making salsa. You can roast them in the oven or on the grill.
  • Don't overcook your salsa: Salsa is best when it is fresh and flavorful. Don't overcook it, or it will lose its flavor and texture.
  • Season to taste: Salsa is a versatile condiment that can be seasoned to your liking. Add salt, pepper, and cumin to taste. You can also add other ingredients, such as garlic, onion, or cilantro, to taste.

Conclusion:

Salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of dishes. With so many different recipes to choose from, there is sure to be a salsa that everyone will enjoy. Whether you like your salsa mild, medium, or hot, there is a recipe out there for you. So next time you are looking for a way to add some flavor to your meal, reach for a bowl of salsa. You won't be disappointed.
