Salsas y Guacamole Recipes

Salsa Mexicana Recipe-

• 1 large, ripe tomato

• 3 serrano peppers or 2 jalapeno peoppers

• 1 small onion

• 1 clove of garlic, peeled

• 8 to 10 sprigs, fresh cilantro

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar or freshly squeezed lime juice

1. Take your tomato and slice down the middle and then core out the seeds and watery bits. All that should be left is the tomato flesh. Now finely chop the tomato, onion and peppers. You want these to be very small, small enough to fit on a tortilla chip, about 1/8 of an inch. No need to measure, use your better judgement.

2. Stir in the salt, vinegar (or lime juice). Then let this salsa rest in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving.

Salsa Verde-

• 5 or 6 medium fresh tomatillos

• 2 serrano peppers or 1 jalapeno, stemmed

• 5 or 6 sprigs of cilantro, roughly chopped

• 1/2 small onion, chopped

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

1. Husk, wash and boil tomatillos in salted water. Boil these until they change color. They will go from a bright green color to a yellow green color. Drain these and place into a blender or food processor, along with the onion, peppers, cilantro and salt. Taste to see if it needs more salt.

Chunky Guacamole

• 1/2 small onion, finely chopped

• 2 serrano peppers or 1 jalapeno pepper

• 1 ripe tomato

• 1 garlic clove, peeled and finely chopped

• 10 sprigs, fresh cilantro

• 3 ripe, medium avocados

• about 1/2 teaspoon of salt

• 1/2 lime squeezed

1. Firstly guys, you will need to finely chop your tomato, peppers, garlic and cilantro.

2. When you’re ready for the avocados. Slice your avocados down the middle with a good, sturdu knife. Do this to all of your avocados. Then with your knife, you’re going to do one swift chopping motion to the pit, and then twist the pit out. Do this so all of your avocados. Now, use a spoon and scoop out all of the avocado flesh into a container. I found that a tall deli container makes it easier to smash them.

3. Use your bean masher and mash all of your avocados. Once your avocados are mashed to your preference.

4. Then add your chopped tomato, onion, pepper and cilantro. Stir this until thoroughly combined. After combined, add in your lime juice and salt. Taste your guacamole and see if it needs more salt or lime juice.

5. Set aside or place into the fridge until you are ready to eat it.

6. Y se acabo! You’re all done!
