Time 15m

Yield 3 cups, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

11 -15 dried arbol chiles (8-10 dried arbol peppers for Mild, 11-15 medium, 16-20 for Hot)
1 (14 ounce) can DelMonte stewed tomatoes, with juice
1/2 small yellow onion
1 jalapeno
1 bunch cilantro
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon lemon juice or 1 teaspoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Take the stems off the peppers and throw away the stems.
  • Place the peppers and seeds in the bender. Blend well.
  • Next toss in the stewed tomatoes with juice, 1 jalepeno (sliced), 1/2 yellow onion (quarterd), 1 garlic clove, handful of cilantro, lemon juice, salt and pepper and blend til you have the consistancy desired.
  • I dont like my salsa chunky, thats what Pico De Gallo is! I also dont want it to runny so it runs off your chips, so i just "pulse" it a few times.
  • If you feel the salsa looks to white from the onion this just means you need to add more cilantro to your salsa. Try the salsa with your chips and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Refridgerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

FRESH MEXICAN SALSA



Fresh Mexican Salsa image

When I visit my best friend in CA, there is a restaurant we always have to go to and I love their salsa. She got the recipe for me so thought I would share with all.

Provided by The Butter Biatch

Categories     Low Protein

Time 15m

Yield 3 cups, 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 medium roma tomatoes
1 garlic clove, peeled
1 serrano chili
3 green onions
4 ounces chopped chilies
1 -3 whole fresh jalapeno
1/4 cup cilantro
1 teaspoon Mexican chili powder
1 tablespoon lime juice
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Char the tomatoes over a gas grill or under the flame of a hot broiler for 2 minutes to char the skin, turning them until the peel blisters. Slip off the peel, and the flesh should still be firm. Remove the green stem core and cut the tomatoes in half vertically. Use a teaspoon to scoop out the seeds and discard.
  • In the food processor, drop in the garlic, cilantro, green onions and jalapenos into the bowl of the food processor to chop for just a few seconds.
  • Add all the remaining ingredients from the recipe, tomatoes, Serrano chili, the chopped green chilies and lime juice. The texture is somewhere between a chow-chow relish and a textured puree. You want to see tiny bits of all the vegetables throughout the salsa. Salt and pepper to taste.
  • Place in fridge for approximately one hour.

Provided by Anna Stockwell

Categories     Ground Beef     Pork     Cilantro     Chili     Corn     Tomato     Onion     Avocado     Chile     Lime Juice     Dinner     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Summer     Small Plates

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 lb. ground beef
1/2 lb. ground pork
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 cup coarsely chopped cilantro leaves and tender stems, divided
2 1/4 tsp. kosher salt, divided
3/4 tsp. chili powder, preferably chipotle, divided
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil, plus more for greasing
2 ears corn on the cob
1 large tomato, chopped into 1/2" pieces
1/2 small red onion, finely chopped
1 avocado, halved, cut into 1/2" pieces
1 serrano chile, seeded, finely chopped
3 Tbsp. fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • Process beef, pork, garlic powder, 1/4 cup cilantro, 1 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. chili powder in a food processor until evenly distributed and well combined, about 2 minutes. Roll mixture into 4 balls.
  • Rub one 16x12" piece of parchment with a little bit of oil. Place 1 ball of meat on one half of oiled paper, then fold other half over. Using a rolling pin or wine bottle, gently roll meat into a very thin oval between parchment (it should be about 9x6"). Transfer, with parchment, to a rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with 3 more sheets of paper and remaining meat. Chill until ready to use.
  • Slice kernels off ears of corn and transfer to a large bowl. Add tomato, onion, avocado, chile, lime juice, and remaining 1/4 cup cilantro, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. chili powder and stir to combine. Let sit while you cook the patties.
  • Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a large heavy (preferably cast-iron) skillet until smoking. Working one at a time, peel patty off greased parchment and sear until browned and crisped on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook just until cooked through, about 1 minute more. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining patties.
  • Top patties with corn salsa.
  • Do Ahead: Patties can be formed 2 days ahead. Chill in parchment on a covered rimmed baking sheet.

Lime slices

Steps:

  • For salsa:
  • Mix all ingredients in medium bowl. Season to taste with salt. Cover and chill. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 hours ahead. Keep chilled.
  • For seafood:
  • Whisk first 5 ingredients in small bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in 1/3 cup olive oil. Season marinade to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Place shrimp in large resealable plastic bag. Place scallops in another large resealable plastic bag. Pour marinade into bags, dividing equally (about 1/2 cup each). Seal bags; turn to coat. Chill at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
  • Drain shrimp and scallops; pour marinade into small saucepan. Bring marinade to boil; set aside.

Transfer to large bowl. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil to skillet. Add shrimp and green onions; sauté until shrimp are almost opaque in center, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Return scallops with any accumulated juices to skillet. Add boiled marinade. Simmer until seafood is just opaque in center and mixture is heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to large shallow bowl. Garnish with lime slices. Serve with salsa.
  • What to drink:
  • Mexican beer is a natural match for this menu. We like Bohemia ($8 per six-pack) because it's refreshing, crisp, and slightly spicy.

CREAMY MEXICAN GREEN SALSA/DIP



Creamy Mexican Green Salsa/Dip image

FAST AND EASY to Make! This is a nutritious spread, and can be used as a dip for "Platanos Fritos" and vege sticks, "Fajitas", lacing sushi rolls, atop veggie burgers, or in any lettuce wrap. To reduce inflammatory responses we have taken out the tomatillos, but feel free to add them in if you are not following Anti-Infammatory dietary guidelines. This is the fastest Mexican Green Salsa recipe ever, it's raw, and keeps well for weeks in a good airtight glass container. Make a big batch if you and your family like it. Use a little more water for a thinner salsa, but slowly-the avocado gives it a nice texture lost with too much water... I usually use less than a cup of water to use as a dip for "Platanos Fritos", and lace my sushi with it. Add the WOW factor by sprinkling a little cayenne pepper on top when serving as a topping to veggie burgers or decorating sushi as you would spicy mayo.

Categories     Sauces

Time 7m

Yield 2 cups, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 avocado
1 chili serrano peppers or 1 jalapeno
1/2 lemon juice
2 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water
cilantro, handful

Steps:

  • Cut stem part off of chili serrano or jalapeno. If using tomatillos, peel off outer brown leaf like skin and stem. Trim tips of cilantro. I use frozen garlic to make this even a faster recipe, feel free to use fresh garlic.
  • Pour in water to blender, add in cilantro and then rest of ingredients. We like garlic so I use 2 cloves -- you may want to start with one clove and taste before adding the second! Blend on high until smooth. DONE!

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN STYLE TABLE SALSA



Authentic Mexican Style Table Salsa image

This is an authentic mexican style table salsa. I have spent years perfecting this to achieve the taste of the salsas I had while in Mexico. It's a smooth table salsa which is typical of authentic mexican table salsa. You can make it as mild or hot as you like by adding or reducing the amount of chiltepines or chile pequins. Enjoy!

Provided by Raw Chef

Categories     Sauces

Time 30m

Yield 1 quart, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes with juice
1/4 white onion
1 tomatillo, husk removed
1 serrano pepper
1 1/2-2 teaspoons salt (start at 1 1/2 and add to taste)
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic
3/4-1 teaspoon fresh minced garlic
3 chilies, de arbols (stems removed)
8 chilies, pequins
8 chiltepin chilies
1/2 cup water (from boiling vegetables)
12 fresh oregano leaves
10 fresh cilantro leaves

Steps:

  • In medium saucepan add onion, tomatillo and serrano and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and boil until tomatillo is soft and changes color to a more yellow color (about 10 minutes). While these are boiling, add a few tablespoons of oil to a small saute pan over medium heat. Add the chiltepins and chile pequins for about 10 seconds and remove to drain on a paper towel. Let cool completely. When vegetables are done boiling remove from water and let cool completely. Add everything into a blender and process until smooth.
  • Notes - I use 12 chile pequins and 10 chiltepins but I like my salsa pretty hot. Sometimes I will just use my deep fat fryer to toast the chiles instead of using the saute pan.
  • If you like your salsa more chunky, reserve half of the tomatoes and the onion, dice and stir in at the end.

SALSA VERDE MEXICAN MEATLOAF



Salsa Verde Mexican Meatloaf image

A yummy alternative to traditional meatloaf. I serve this with refried beans and Mexican rice. It's like having a burrito but less messy. You can top with sour cream or guacamole if desired.

Provided by Jennifer Reeve

Categories     Meat

Time 1h25m

Yield 1 loaf, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 lbs 97% fat free ground beef
1/2 cup green tomatillo salsa
2 large eggs
1 (8 ounce) can diced green chilies
1 (8 ounce) can sliced black olives
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon ground Mexican oregano
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup Cotija cheese (or other Mexican cheese, Cotija is a crumbly cheese with a distinct flavor)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Combine Ground Beef with eggs and a good amount of the Salsa. Start at about ½ a cup and add more as desired. Add green chiles & olives. Add about a teaspoon each of spices or more if desired. Add enough bread crumbs until meat mixture sticks together. Crumble in cheese as desired.
  • Grease pan as desired, form loaf in pan. Bake at 350 for 45 mins, and then check for doneness. Depending on your oven and how you shape the loaf this could take another 15-20 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe tomatoes. This will give your salsa the best flavor.
  • Choose the right type of tomato. Roma tomatoes are a good choice for salsa because they are firm and have a low water content.
  • Roast your tomatoes. Roasting tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives them a smoky depth of flavor.
  • Use a variety of peppers. This will give your salsa a more complex flavor. Some good options include jalapeños, serranos, and habaneros.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. You can add things like corn, black beans, or mango to your salsa to give it a unique flavor.
  • Taste your salsa as you go. This will help you adjust the flavors to your liking.
  • Let your salsa rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Salsa is a versatile condiment that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is a great way to add flavor and zest to your meals. With so many different recipes to choose from, you are sure to find one that you love. So get creative and experiment with different ingredients to create your own unique salsa.
