This salsa is great with tortilla chips. The only problem is that it quickly becomes habit-formingyou just can't stop eating it. We serve a bowl of this salsa and a basket of warm tortilla chips to every table in our restaurant, and people always ask for more. I have even seen customers eating it with a spoon, like soup. It goes with everything, from breakfast to dinner, and it accompanies every meal at Los Barrios. It will keep for up to 4 days in the refrigerator and can be frozen for up to 2 months. Ingredients:
one 16-ounce can whole tomatoes |
one 4-ounce can jalapeño chiles |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Combine the tomatoes, chiles, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a blender and blend to a chunky puree; do not blend until smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl.
2. Variation: You can make this hotter by increasing the amount of chiles.
