Receta Quick and Easy Salsa
I know I'm coming a little late to the party, it was Cinco de Mayo this past Sunday. Yikes where did the time go?
I love these Jalepeno's en Escabeche. I eat the carrots first though, even if they burn my tongue a little. I always have a can of them in the cupboard or in the fridge or, well, I have them handy.
Take one or two cans of whole tomatoes, either cut them up or better yet, squish the tomatoes a little to break them up, place in bowl, and set aside. (if you squish the tomatoes to break them up, make sure your hands are clean first). Open a large can of green chiles, the 7 oz. can works great, then add a few pickled jalapeno slices, minced, (or even a small can of jalapeno's), depending on the heat level you want. Finally add a bunch of green onions, chopped. Stir together and add about a teaspoon of salt. I know, I never tell you to add salt, but for this, you need it. Although you could start with a half teaspoon and work your way up. Taste it first and see what you think. Add the juice of a fresh squeezed lime and some chopped Cilantro. About a 1/4- 1/2 cup. Place the salsa in a bowl, and put in the fridge for about an hour or so. Serve with some fresh tortilla chips and a nice cold beer or a margarita. Oh and if there are leftovers, be aware it can become very spicy. But it's all good.
I actually made this for a Cinco de Mayo Party that friends threw and I have to say that even with the amount of great food available, most of the salsa got eaten. But I had a little bit left and I dumped spooned some of it onto a nicely fried egg and it was so good.
