Receta The Best Salsa in the World
The Best Salsa in the World

The Best Salsa in the World. Yes, that is a high title to live up to but I seriously believe that this Salsa stands. Oh man, it is delicious! Delicious and addicting. We couldn’t stop eating it, it is that good.
I modeled this salsa after one of my favorite salsas: Chevy’s Salsa! I used to go to Chevy’s just for their salsa and chips. I think the waiters would hate me. The key to this recipe isn’t some fake liquid smoke, it is actually grilling the tomatoes and peppers on a charcoal grill…My mouth is literally watering typing this up.
Delicious Rating: A charcoal grill is the only option for this recipe. Gas will not give it the real smoky taste and liquid smoke is so out of the question. After the grilling it is a super easy recipe, blend it all up and serve! It tastes better (if that is possible) the next day after all the flavors have come together and melded perfectly. I am going to the store right now to buy some more ingredients!

Whenever I start up the charcoal grill now, maybe just for hot dogs or a tri-tip, I always make sure just to throw on some jalapenos and tomatoes for some salsa.
Don’t blend and walk away, pulse to your desired consistency. Maybe you like a thick and chunky salsa, maybe super thin, or just in the middle. Pulsing will let you choose.
Delicious!
