Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Make Dressing: combine lime juice, olive oil, zest, garlic, cream, 1/2t salt and 1/4t pepper in a bowl or mason jar and whisk/shake to combine.
- Roast your peppers until they are a nice even char on all sides. (You can do this on a grill, under the broiler or I like to roast them directly on gas stovetop.) Place your roasted peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap to steam. .
- Once the peppers have cooled, scrape the skin off, take the seeds out, remove the ribs (if you desire less heat) and cut into strips/dice. Place in a large bowl.
- While waiting for peppers to cool. Cut both the corn and flour tortillas into half and then into thin strips.
- Add oil, cumin, salt and pepper to a bowl and stir to combine. Add tortilla strips and toss to coat. .
- Spread into an even layer on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, until crispy.
- Cut tomatoes into small wedges or large chunks and place in the bowl with the peppers. Salt generously. Add cilantro and 1/4 cup of the dressing and toss gently.
- Place the tomato salad on plates and top with tortilla strips. Serve immediately. (If you let it set to long the salt will pull all the juice out of your tomatoes).
- Optional additions: roasted corn, diced or fried avocado, grilled chicken/pressed tofu (marinated in the dressing), queso fresco.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Slice the tops off of the eggplants, and place on a baking sheet with the red pepper halves. Drizzle with olive oil to lightly coat.
- Bake for about 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until eggplant is tender. Remove from the oven, and place the eggplant and peppers into a large resealable bag. Seal, and let sit for 15 minutes to loosen the skin. Remove from the bag, peel off the skins, and dice the eggplants and pepper. Transfer to a large bowl.
- Place the tomatoes, and garlic in to the bowl with the roasted vegetables, and season with salt, pepper and cilantro. Mix until well blended. Set aside.
- Set the oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
- Peel apart the pita breads into two thin circles. You may cut off the edges to make it easier. Brush melted butter onto what used to be the inside, and stack together. Cut into strips, then cut across at a diagonal to make diamond shapes. If you have kitchen scissors, it will be easy. Place them on a baking sheet.
- Bake the pita chips for 5 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until lightly toasted. Stir occasionally if they overlap.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better your salsa will taste. If possible, use tomatoes that are ripe and flavorful, and onions and peppers that are crisp and fresh.
- Choose the right tomatoes: There are many different types of tomatoes that can be used for salsa, but not all of them are created equal. For the best flavor, use Roma tomatoes or another type of plum tomato. These tomatoes are less watery and have a more concentrated flavor than other types of tomatoes.
- Roast your tomatoes: Roasting your tomatoes before you make salsa will give it a deeper, richer flavor. To roast your tomatoes, simply place them on a baking sheet and roast them in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes, or until they are softened and slightly charred.
- Use a variety of peppers: The type of peppers you use will determine the heat level of your salsa. For a mild salsa, use bell peppers. For a medium salsa, use poblano peppers. And for a hot salsa, use jalapeño peppers or habanero peppers.
- Add some herbs and spices: Herbs and spices can add a lot of flavor to your salsa. Some popular herbs and spices to use include cilantro, cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder.
- Let your salsa rest: After you've made your salsa, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop.
Conclusion:
Making salsa at home is easy, affordable, and a great way to use up fresh ingredients. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious salsa that will be the perfect addition to your next party or potluck. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give salsa a try. You won't be disappointed!
