ROASTED CORN AND TOMATO SALSA
Grilling tomatoes, jalapeños and corn makes for a nice mix of flavors. The sweetness of the corn contrasts well with the charred and picante flavors of the salsa. I've added corn to salsa fresca before, but this time, eyeing generous ears of corn on the cob in the market, I imagined it grilled or roasted in a roasted tomato salsa. I used as a starting point the renowned chef Rick Bayless's terrific roasted jalapeño tomato salsa with fresh cilantro, from a book he published in 1998 called "Salsas That Cook." After I had grilled the tomatoes and jalapeño under a broiler (you could also cook them on a grill), I grilled an ear of corn, also under a broiler. The kernels take on a beautiful color, and their sweetness contrasts nicely with the charred and picante flavors that run through this salsa. The corn also contributes crunch. The salsa is great with tacos, chips, and grains, and is particularly good with chicken.

Steps:
- Preheat broiler and set rack 4 inches below. If your broiler and oven are separate, also preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with foil.
- Place tomatoes and jalapeños on one of the baking sheets and set under broiler, about 4 inches from heat. Broil for about 6 minutes, until skins are charred and blackened in spots. Using tongs, flip over tomatoes and jalapeño and continue to broil for another 6 minutes. The tomatoes and chiles should be softened and cooked through as well as charred. Tip tomatoes and chiles, along with any juices in the pan, into a bowl and allow to cool.
- Place corn on baking sheet and set under the broiler. Broil until you hear the kernels beginning to pop, 2 to 4 minutes. Corn should be nicely browned on one side. Flip over and broil for 2 minutes, or until you hear popping, on the other side. Remove from heat, allow to cool, then cut kernels from cob and set aside.
- If using the same oven to roast the onions, turn heat down to 425 degrees. Break up onions into rings and place on baking sheet in a single layer. Add garlic and place in oven. Roast, stirring every 5 minutes, until onions have softened and are lightly browned and charred on edges and garlic is soft and browned in spots, about 15 minutes. If some of the smaller pieces of onion begin to char more quickly than others, remove them sooner.
- Stem jalapeños and place with onions and garlic in a food processor fitted with the bowl as necessary. Transfer to a large bowl.
- When tomatoes are cool enough to handle, core and discard skins (hold over bowl to catch juices). Place in food processor with juice and pulse to a coarse purée. Add to bowl with chopped onions, garlic and jalapeño. Add the vinegar, season generously with salt (Rick Bayless recommends a generous teaspoon), and stir in the cilantro and corn. If desired, thin out with water.

Steps:
- Special Equipment: A pastry bag and a large closed star tip (we used size 845 tips); deep-fry thermometer.
- Preheat oven to 350°. Toast cascabel until fragrant and lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove chiles from baking sheet, let cool.
- Increase oven temperature to 450°. Roast tomatoes, fresnos and onion on a clean rimmed baking sheet until skin is browned and beginning to separate from flesh, 30-35 minutes. Transfer to a blender and add garlic, lime juice, and 2 teaspoons salt; blend until smooth. Add cascabel and blend until coarsely chopped. Let sit at room temperature until ready to serve.
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook until incorporated, about 1 minute. Whisk in milk and continue to cook until mixture comes to a boil and thickens, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low, gradually add both cheeses, and cook, stirring constantly, until cheese is completely melted and queso is smooth. If it seems too thick, stir in a little more milk. Keep warm until ready to serve.
- Do Ahead: Salsa and queso can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill speperately. Bring salsa room temperature before serving; warm queso until smooth and creamy.
- Fit pastry bag with star tip. Whisk chili powder and 1 tablespoon salt in a small bowl; set aside.
- Bring milk, butter, cumin, 1¼ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup water to a simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Using a wooden spoon, add flour and cornmeal in one go, and vigorously mix until dough comes together, about 30 seconds. Let sit in pan for 10 minutes to hydrate the cornmeal. Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl.
- Using a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium-low speed, add eggs to dough, one at a time, making sure to incorporate each egg before adding the next (alternatively, stir vigorously with a wooden spoon). Dough will look broken at first; continue to beat, scraping bowl occasionally, until dough is smooth, glossy, and somewhat stretchy (pull off a small piece of dough and stretch it-it shouldn't break). Spoon dough into prepared pastry bag.
- Pour oil into a large pot to come halfway up the sides. Fit pot with thermometer and heat over medium-high until thermometer registers 350°. Holding bag at an angle so tip is a few inches above surface of oil, squeeze out dough, moving the bag as you squeeze so dough is piped in a 6" length into oil. Using a paring knife, cut off dough at the tip to release into oil. Repeat process to make 4 more dough lengths. Fry churros, turning once and adjusting heat as needed to maintain oil temperature, until golden brown on all sides, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Sprinkle warm churros with reserved chili-salt mixture mixture. Dollop salsa over warm queso and swirl to combine; serve with warm churros.

RUSTIC ROASTED TOMATO SALSA (SALSA DE MOLCAJETE)

Steps:
- Set a small skillet over medium heat. Lay the chilis and garlic in the skillet and dry-roast until soft and blotchy black in spots, about 10 minutes for the chilis, about 15 minutes for the garlic.
- While the chilis and garlic are roasting, scoop the chopped onion into a strainer and rinse under cold water. Shake off the excess water and pour into a medium bowl.
- Pull the stems off the roasted chilis and peel the papery skins off the garlic. Scoop them into a food processor and pulse until they are finely chopped. Add the tomatoes, with their juice, re-cover and pulse a few more times, until the mixture is as coarse or smooth as you want your salsa to be.
- Pour the tomato mixture into the bowl with the onion. Add the cilantro and stir thoroughly. Thin with a little water, if necessary, to give the salsa an easily spoonable consistency. Taste and season with the lime juice or vinegar, if using, and salt, usually about ½ teaspoons If not using within an hour or two, cover and refrigerate.
- Note: If you're not planning to use the salsa within a few hours, wait until you're ready to serve to add the onions and cilantro.
- Using fresh tomatoes:.
- Roast 4 medium to large tomatillos, husked, rinsed and quartered, close up under a hot broiler until blistered and blackened in spots, then flip them over and roast the other side. Peel off the skin, chop them and use them in the salsa.

SPINACH CON QUESO
This is an adopted recipe that I have adjusted to include exact amounts for the ingredients. I used a pint of Canned Basic Salsa (Recipe #39094) when I prepared it and found that while it was flavorful, it wasn't spicy at all. You may want to add hot sauce, cayenne pepper or diced jalapenos if you like things kicked up a notch. I also melted my cheese in the microwave and stirred in the other ingredients before pouring into a mini crockpot for serving. You will want to keep an eye on it, if you serve it this way. The cheese can separate if it gets too hot in the crockpot.

- Preheat the broiler and set an oven rack about 5 inches beneath the heating element. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Place the tomatoes, onions, garlic, whole serrano chile peppers and vegetable oil directly on the prepared baking sheet and toss with your hands. Broil until softened and charred, 10-15 minutes.
- Transfer the vegetables and juices to a food processor fitted with the metal blade. (Note: This is a spicy salsa recipe. If you are concerned about the level of heat, add only one Serrano pepper at this point. You can always blend the others in to taste.) Add the salt and cumin and pulse until just slightly chunky. (If you left out some of the chili peppers, now's the time to taste and add more.) Add the cilantro and fresh lime juice, and pulse until the cilantro is chopped. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and more lime juice if necessary. Be sure to add enough salt and lime to bring out all the flavors. Transfer to a bowl and serve warm, at room temperature, or slightly chilled.
- Make-Ahead Instructions: The salsa can be made two days ahead of time; store in a covered container in the refrigerator.
