AUTHENTIC FIRE-ROASTED TEX-MEX SALSA

Steps:

• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler to high.
• Spray a 9x13-inch glass casserole dish with cooking spray. Arrange tomatoes in the prepared dish with cut sides down. Add onion and jalapeno.
• Broil until tomato skins are blackened and blistered, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove onion and jalapeno halfway through cooking time, once skins are slightly softened.

BILL'S AUTHENTIC TEX-MEX SALSA

Steps:

• 1. Put all ingredients in a food processor or blender (reserve 1/2 can of (6 oz) the tomato juice). Blend well for about 10 to 20 seconds on high. Do not puree. Pour into bowl and add remaining tomato juice. Stir well. Serve with tortilla chips
• 2. For a milder salsa, remove the seeds from the jalapeno before blending.
• 3. I always double this recipe and make one salsa mild and the other much spicier. *** Please use whole tomatoes and not diced as it will effect the thickness of the salsa.

BASIC TEX-MEX SALSA

Steps:

• Put the tomatoes into a large bowl.
• Chop the onion and cilantro and add to tomatoes.
• Start with 2 jalapenos, cut in half and take out and discard the seeds (this is where a lot of the heat is located). Slice into thin strips and then chop the jalapenos very tiny. Be care NOT to touch your face or eyes and to wash your hands immediately upon finishing.
• Add the jalapenos to the mixture and combine.
• Add oil and vinegar and stir. The colors should be beautifully blended and green should pop deliciously out of the red!
• If desired add a little salt and pepper to taste.
• Taste to see if you would like more jalapenos. Add these if desired.
• Chill about 1 hour and serve cold with tortilla or corn chips.
