Authentic Salsa

Chef #550646's Note:

This home made salsa is fast and easy to make and lasts for at least a week. I got it from mother-in-law and have made slights changes. If you do not have a comal you can use a non-stick pan. With low-fat chips it makes a great low fat snack. We also eat it with fajitas. If you don't like spicy then start with just one jalapeño since their spiciness varies.

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 5 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 7 roma tomatoes
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 2 -3 jalapenos, cut in half and seeds removed
• 4 garlic cloves, chopped
• cilantro
• salt and pepper
• garlic powder (garlic salt)

Directions:

1. On a comal place whole Roma tomatoes and jalapeños to slightly burn on all sides.
2. Once the skin starts peeling off they are probably ready.
3. Once ready, put in a blender.
4. Add the rest of the ingredients to the blender.
5. Blend all ingredients 15- 20 seconds or until they look mixed.
6. Try the salsa and if you think it needs more of something add it.
7. I usually use 4-5 stems of cilantro and add the garlic powder after I have mixed the ingredients.
8. Sometimes I don't need to add extra garlic powder.
