I love salsa with a passion, just can't get enough. I recently bought Chi-Chi's salsa at the store because it was 1.50 less and it seemed like you got much more. I was awesomely surprised here. It tastes better than the tostitos shit and its more. Fucking buy this if you like salsa.
Some of the store brands are better than the label brands. Pace sucks ass cause it has to much onion. Sams Choice used to be the bomb its great lots of tomato taste for a better price likewise for the Kroger brand. Tostados’ does what so many cheep spaghetti sauce people do. My theory is they take a watered down product and add a starch to thicken it. I make my own a lot also.
I'd be interested in it as long as it is not overly expensive. Only thing I made before in terms of condiments was bbq sauce, which rocked the earth.
As far as name brands, Frog Ranch Foods makes the best salsa, but that might just be a local thing, I dunno. Walmart generic salsa is the best in my opinion. Kroger sucks. It's too vinegary. I have tried to make my own with the Magic Bullet and it was a pain in the ass. I think Cilantro is disgusting and it will ruin any salsa. It tastes like blood. Ever try Salsa Verde? The green stuff? It's not bad. I actually like that slimy TOSTITOS® Creamy Spinach Dip. The Southwestern Ranch stuff was nasty though.
well to make your own all you need is tinned tomatoes, onion, bell peppers, and chilli's for however hot you want to make it, just add all the ingredients together and boil them down a bit.
Well that is the recipe, sort of, its really a trial and error thing depending on how chunky you want it etc. What I used was- 1 tin tomatoes, empty everything into saucepan.. if you want to chop them or cut the ends of as some people do, then go for it. 1 green, 1 red and 1 yellow bell pepper, chopped to your liking 1 onion, same as above. 3 or 4 Jalapeno chilli's. and if you can stand the heat a bird eye chilli salt & pepper to taste you can also add some tomato ketchup or puree if you want it sweeter/ thicker bring everything to the boil then turn down to simmer, stirring every so often. it will be finished when the chunks get softer, keep testing them to see how crunchy/soft you want them. I generally leave it until the skin on the peppers starts to peel back at the edges
The best salsa you'll get in Australia is from the Byron Bay Chili Company. Just thought I'd share that.
The best salsa I ever made was with 4 fresh tomatoes, a jalapeno, a habanero, lime juice and a shot of tequila. I put it all in the blender and blended it a few seconds to get it chunky. It was perfect.
there is a Bodega/carnacita/taquaria right by my house. they make fresh Salsa verde everyday. when I have a party, i just go there, and for $5 I get a 32 ounce Styrofoam cup of verde. Some times its super hot, some times its strong cilantro, but everytime it is the hit of the party. You can make bastard American Queso dip, one block velvetta, melt with 8 ounces (or add more) of Salsa Verde. Oh at the bodegas, they call it "Salsa De Mexcinos" or Salsa El Diablo". the Devil Sauce is mostly hot peppers, and very spicy. so be forewarned if they say "Salsa El Diablo"
