Super Delish Red Salsa Recipe
In a trusty food processor, whirls together the following ingredients:
Fire-Roasted Tomatoes: A 15-ounce can of these ruby gems. Their smoky essence infuses the salsa with depth.
Garlic: Two cloves, blitzed to perfection. No tedious chopping here—just pure garlicky goodness.
Onion: Half of an onion roughly chopped. Its pungency balances the sweetness of the tomatoes.
Jalapeno: A fresh addition. Add the amount you like. I put in 2 because I love Jalapenos. I leave in some seeds for a little more spice. Adjust to your spice threshold.
Chile De Arbol (dried) – throw in a couple (whole) or more if you like spice. They add great flavor and add heat to the salsa.
Some Spices: Cumin, Salt and Pepper and a handful of cilantro completes this dish.
Add all of these ingredients into a food processor and hit the blend button. Blend it more for a smoother salsa or pulsed to get a chunkier salsa. If you can wait, refrigerate for an hour to allow the flavor to bloom. The result? A salsa that defies time—fresh, tangy, and oh-so-satisfying.
Salsa Tips:
- Customize the Heat: Want it mild? Tame the jalapeno or drop out the chile de arbol. Craving fire? Embrace the seeds and add more chile de arbol.
- Party-Ready Portion: Hosting a fiesta? Double or triple the recipe.
And there you have it—the Super Delish Red Salsa. It pairs with tortilla chips, graces tacos, and cozies up to grilled meats. It’s also great on nachos and blended into queso.
So go ahead, dip that chip. Let the flavors dance on your tongue. This red salsa isn’t just food; it’s a celebration—a burst of joy in every bite.
