There are few things better than a good salsa! 🌶 ✨
Â
Here is my Molcajete Salsa recipe and a few of my favorite tips for preparing the perfect salsa for your Taco Tuesday or 4th of July celebration.
4 House Tomatoes
6 Tomatillos
1 Yellow Pepper, 2 Serrano
2 Garlic Cloves
1/4 or 1/2 white onion
Cilantro
On a lightly-oiled comal (or iron skillet), roast the Tomatoes, Tomatillos and Chiles until lightly charred. (Pro-Tip: swap House Tomatoes for Roma if you want a tangy twist)
 Once completed, set them aside on plate or bowl.
Â
Using the same comal and white Onion (cut in 1/2), roast it until brown. After the Onion has cooled, chop into fine pieces.
Â
Mince Garlic and toss with mashed Tomato.
Â
Prepare the molcajete by lightly coating it with Olive Oil, adding 1 Tomato and Tomatillo at a time - grind until fully mashed.
 (Molcajetes are great because the grinding of certain herbs and peppers releases oils and flavors that chopping cannot provide)
Â
After the chilis cool, chop and add them to the molcajete. When the main ingredients are mashed to the consistency of your liking, add salt and a dash of lime!

 I love to eat mine with some fresh slices of avocado, yummm!
