Jasmines Easy Salsa For Tacos Recipes

Steps:

• 1 Snip off the stems of the chiles and shake out their seeds as best you can. If the chiles are too dry and brittle, warm them slightly on a gently heated comal, and then remove the seeds. Alternately, keep the seeds in to make a very hot salsa.
• 2 Heat the comal on low to medium-low and place the unpeeled garlic cloves near the edge of the pan, away from direct heat. Turn occasionally until soft and blackened in spots, 5 to 7 minutes. Peel the garlic cloves once cool enough to handle and set aside in a blender jar.
• 3 To toast the chiles, work with one at a time so they don't burn. Place each chile near the edge of the comal-again, away from the hottest part of the pan-and turn constantly for 5 to 10 seconds, pressing any wrinkled or folded spots lightly so all parts of the chile skin come into contact with the pan. They are done when the color lightens up in spots and they emit a spicy aroma. (This is a very quick process!) Remove all toasted chiles to a separate bowl and cover with water. Let sit 15 minutes or until the skins are soft. Reserve the soaking water.
• 4 While the chiles sit, heat the comal to medium or medium-high. Cook the whole tomatoes, turning often with tongs, until soft and blackened in spots. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• 5 Add the hydrated chiles to the blender jar (with the garlic), with 2 tablespoons of the reserved chile water and a generous 1/4 cup water. Blend until smooth. Add the tomatoes and 2 tablespoons more water, plus 3/4 teaspoon salt. Blend again, adding more water and salt if desired. (Note that the saltiness will mute when the still-warm salsa cools.) Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Put tomatoes, garlic, serranos whole with stem, onion peeled, to boil in enough water to cover in a saucepan for about 20 minutes rolling boil with salt to taste, about 2 tablespoons.
• All ingredients should be very soft but not mushy drain but reserve water used. Let veggies cool in a bowl.
• While this is boiling or veggies are cooling finely chop whole bunch of cilantro, stems removed.
• Put veggies into your blender, blend well, add the cilantro little by little. You may have to do the blending with half of the veggies at a time.
• Into blender also add oregano, black pepper and vinegar, you may have to add more salt (to taste).
• Once all is blended slowly add in some of the reserved water to thin it out as desired.
• Allow to cool completely then refrigerate promptly.
• Use a good container with an airtight lid and do not dip into this container if you want it to last, pour into a bowl so as to not contaminate batch.
