SALSA

Steps:

• In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine tomatoes, onion, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, tomatillo, and salt to taste. Mix well. Add 1/2 of the jalapeno pepper, and taste. If you desire your salsa with more of a kick, add the remaining 1/2 jalapeno. If you are satisfied with the salsa's heat, do not add the remaining jalapeno pepper. Cover the salsa, and chill until ready to serve.

Steps:

• Roughly chop tomatoes, serranos, garlic clove, and onion.
• Place in your blender with ¼ cup of water, and process until smooth (or slightly coarse, if you prefer).

EASY AUTHENTIC SALSA FRESCA

Steps:

• Using a manually operated chopper, chop the tomatoes until slightly chunky. Try to avoid getting them too saucy or allowing them to foam up. Place the tomatoes in a bowl. Press or chop the garlic. Place the remaining ingredients in the chopper. Use only the top leafy portion of the cilantro, and remove the seeds from the jalapenos for milder salsa. If it is to hot for your taste, add more tomatoes or just a pinch of sugar.
