QUICK MICROWAVE NACHOS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Spread the tortilla chips in an even layer on a microwave-safe plate. ( Important : Never use a metal sheet pan or metal dish of any kind in the microwave.) There are no set quantities of these nachos. The important thing is to spread the tortilla chips in an even layer on the plate, with just a little overlap. If you stuff the plate with too many tortilla chips, you won't be able to cover them all with the cheese.
• Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the chips.
• Top with the jalapeño slices, if desired.
• Heat on high for 1 minute, just until the cheese is melted. Be sure to watch the nachos as they cook. Microwave ovens vary dramatically, and so your cooking time will also vary. Let the nachos stand for a few minutes to finish cooking.
• Serve immediately with sour cream, homemade pico de gallo , sliced black olives, chopped fresh tomatoes, and/or guacamole . Enjoy.

THE BEST CANNING SALSA

Steps:

• Combine tomatoes, onions, vinegar, tomato paste, green bell peppers, red bell peppers, banana peppers, sugar, garlic, pickling salt, and black pepper in a large stockpot; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for 30 minutes. Mix cilantro into salsa.
• Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pack salsa into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 35 minutes.
• Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.

FRESH TOMATO SALSA

Steps:

• Place your tomatoes into a food processor and pulse 6-8 times, or until they reach a good salsa consistency. Depending on the size of your food processor you might have to do this in 2 batches. Transfer to a bowl once processed.
• Add the chopped up green pepper and onion into the bowl with the tomatoes.
• Add cilantro, lime juice, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes into the bowl and mix until everything is combined.
• Serve with tortilla chips or on top of your favorite Mexican meal!
