RED-RIBBON ROASTED SALSA



Red-Ribbon Roasted Salsa image

This recipe originated from a recipe that was supposed to duplicate that of my favorite Mexican restaurant. I've heavily modified the original recipe and like this variation SO much more! It's relatively easy. This makes a medium-hot salsa. I've named it 'Red-Ribbon' because it took second place at my company salsa competition last Cinco de Mayo (lost first in a tie-breaker!).

  • Refrigerate until flavors have blended, at least 2 hours to overnight.

RED SALSA



Red Salsa image

This all-purpose cooked salsa forms a simple dip for chips, a topping for tacos or enchiladas, a pool of sauce for chiles rellenos or a key flavoring in soups, rices and stews. Variations couldn't be easier: substitute smoky chipotle chilies for the jalapenos, for example, or add chopped cilantro just before serving to give it a fresher flavor.

Time 1h

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, sliced
1 fresh jalapeno pepper, stemmed, seeded and thinly sliced

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
