Homemade Hot Salsa Mexican Restaurant Style

 Hi Folks, Here's another red salsa that is not  as hot as an earlier post and it also makes a smaller amount.

You will need:

3 serrano peppers or peppers of your choice
2 cloves of garlic
1 half of an onion

Place ingredients in a pan and roast on stove top or under broiler. Roast until
ingredients become soft and charred. Rotating and checking often.



As ingredients become charred and soft
transfer to another container.















Cover with plastic wrap or foil.









The onions will take the longest amount of time.







Once the onions are soft and have some char, add them to the container and wait 10 minutes.

After 10  minutes peel the garlic,
and remove the stems from the peppers.
You can also remove the outer skin from the peppers and the seeds if you wish.




 Place ingredients  into a blender, add a 14.5 ounce can of tomatoes (whole or diced), 1/2 tsp of salt and 1 clove of peeled raw garlic.

 Blend until smooth.

 If you desire add 3 tablespoons of cilantro, and blend.

 

Transfer to another container and chill for at least 1 hour.

I hope you try and enjoy this salsa. Eat it with chips, or add it to cooked meats to make tacos or enchiladas, add it to some scrambled eggs and serve on top of some refried beans. It is a very versatile salsa.

CHILE CON QUESO

 Hi Folks,


I really love Mexican food, or at least, our version of Mexican food here in Texas, known as Tex Mex.

Here is a easy recipe for Chile Con Queso.

Ingredients:

1 Cup Vegetable Stock ( Chicken Stock or Water can be substituted)
1/2 Can  ( 4 - 4.5 ounce ) Diced Green Chiles
1 Roma Tomato ( small dice, any tomato can be used you just need about 1/4 cup)
2 Tablespoons finely diced onion
1/2 Teaspoon Onion Powder
1/2 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
6 Slices of Processed American Cheese

Bring first six ingredients to a boil and reduce heat to a medium simmer, cook for 5 - 7 minutes, or until reduced by half.

When mixture has reduced turn down heat and add cheese slices, one at a time, letting each slice melt before adding another, till all cheese has been added.

Serve with chips.

Variations:

Add 1/4 cup of cooked ground  meat to finished queso
Instead of American cheese slices use 6 ounces of  Velveeta
Instead of green chiles add 1 Jalapeno or Serrano pepper can be used ( remove seeds and vein for a milder queso )
Add 1/2 teaspoon of chili powder or
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Or come up with your own

This can easily be doubled or tripled

I hope you enjoy

Put pork ( or other meat), in a medium sized nonstick pan, heat until warm, add the cream cheese and the chilies and continue to heat until cream cheese is melted, remove from heat. ( If using  cheese instead of meat, exclude this step, just warm cream cheese slightly in microwave, so it blends easily with the cheese).

Mexican Restaurant Style Salsa

Hi Folk's !

Here's my version of salsa.

You will need :

1 28 ounce can of diced tomatoes
2 garlic cloves smashed and peeled - reserve 1
1 jalapeno pepper
1 habanero pepper
2 serrano peppers
1/2 a diced onion yellow or white
1/2   tsp salt
1/4 tsp cumin
2 TBLS chopped cilantro
2 TTBS fresh lime juice

Open and drain tomatoes reserving liquid (add enough water to the reserved liquid to make 1 cup), slice peppers length wise and remove stems,  place in  a pot, add reserved liquid, peppers, onion and 1 clove of garlic, bring to boil then reduce to simmer and cook until onions and peppers are soft add more water if need ( just enough to keep everything moist).

After onions and peppers are soft, put in blender with tomatoes, reserved garlic  and spices, blend until smooth  ( this is a pretty hot salsa you may want to remove the peppers from the mixture before blending, blend with just the onions and liquid, and then taste for heat level, you can then add peppers as needed till you get it to the heat level you like).

After salsa is smooth and at the heat level you want, add cilantro and lime juice and blend for a few seconds more. Pour into container and chill for an hour to let all the flavors marry. Serve with tortilla chips.

I hope you try and enjoy this recipe.
