Jasmine's Easy Salsa for Tacos

Recipe #380729 | 35 min | 15 min prep | add private note

By: jazzchef
Jul 8, 2009

This recipe is VERY simple but I wanted to post it anyway. In authentic Mexican cooking we have several different salsas and chiles to accompany our dishes. This one can be a tortilla chip dipper but mostly it's for fried tacos, (chicken, potato, beef etc) or tostadas. It needs to be a little runny and very flavorfull to get in all the nooks and crannies of the tacos. As long as the storage dish is not contaminated (double dipping or dipping a used spoon in it) this sauce will last a week if tightly covered.

5 cups approx (change servings and units)

  1. 1
    Put tomatoes, garlic, serranos whole with stem, onion peeled, to boil in enough water to cover in a saucepan for about 20 minutes rolling boil with salt to taste, about 2 tablespoons.
  2. 2
    All ingredients should be very soft but not mushy drain but reserve water used. Let veggies cool in a bowl.
  3. 3
    While this is boiling or veggies are cooling finely chop whole bunch of cilantro, stems removed.
  4. 4
    Put veggies into your blender, blend well, add the cilantro little by little. You may have to do the blending with half of the veggies at a time.
  5. 5
    Into blender also add oregano, black pepper and vinegar, you may have to add more salt (to taste).
  6. 6
    Once all is blended slowly add in some of the reserved water to thin it out as desired.
  7. 7
    Allow to cool completely then refrigerate promptly.
  8. 8
    Use a good container with an airtight lid and do not dip into this container if you want it to last, pour into a bowl so as to not contaminate batch.
