Put That Store-Bought Salsa Down
Make your own. This salsa recipe is super easy. And even if you haven’t developed tortilla flipping hands (can flip tortillas on a hot comal and not get burned) yet, just use tongs or a spatula.
Ingredients
- 5 Jalapeños
- 2 Small Tomatoes
- 1 garlic clove
- Salt to taste
You’re also going to need a molcajete or you can blend the ingredients in the blender, but that’s not as fun as manually grinding everything.
Use Fresh Ingredients
No preservatives here and besides you’re probably going to end up finishing this salsa by tomorrow. Trust me.
A Tostar On The Comal
Heat up your comal or pan to medium high heat and throw all the jalapeños and tomatoes on there. Abandon the garlic for now we won’t need that until later. Rotate those guys to where all sides all slightly burned. Use tongs in case you don’t have tortilla flipping hands.
Put Them In A Tiny Sauna
Place them in a bag while they’re still hot and tie it up. This will make the peeling process easier.
Grind The Ajo
While the tomatoes and jalapeños are in the bag sweatin’ it out, grind the piece of garlic in the molcajete. If you’re using a blender just blend all the ingredients together after the next step.
Peel, Peel, And Peel Again
I like to pour a bit of canola or corn oil on my hands to prevent them from getting super spicy from the jalapeños. Run the jalapeños under water for a couple seconds to peel more easily.
Grind It All Up
Throw everything in the molcajete and get to work grinding everything. Today we work out arms. It’s okay to take a small break in between. Remember this is gonna taste really good. Add a bit of salt and taste.
This Goes Great With Pretty Much Anything Except Cereal
Serve with Quesadillas or chips and watch it disappear.
If It Comes Out Spicy It’s Because You Were Mad
Chiles are strange some come out spicy others don’t. There’s no saying how spicy it will be or like my mom says if it comes out spicy that meant you were angry while making it.
