Equipment

  • Knife
  • mixing bow
  • blender

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp garlic minced
  • 1 large sliced onion
  • 2 jalapeno peppers
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 2 lbs tomatoes

Instructions
 

  • Begin by washing the tomatoes thoroughly under running water. Remove the stems and cut them in half.
  • Slice the onion and jalapeno peppers, ensuring they are deseeded for a milder salsa.
  • Chop the fresh cilantro, discarding any tough stems.
  • Mince the garlic cloves, ensuring they are finely chopped.
  • In a blender or food processor, add the halved tomatoes, sliced onions, jalapeno peppers, cilantro, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt.
  • Pulse the ingredients a few times until you achieve your desired consistency. For a chunkier salsa, pulse briefly, and for a smoother texture, blend for a longer duration.
  • Adjusting the Seasonings
  • Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning according to your preference. You can add more salt, pepper, or garlic if desired.
  • To increase the heat, add additional finely chopped jalapeno peppers.
  • Transfer the salsa to a serving bowl and cover it with plastic wrap or a lid.
  • Allow the salsa to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to an hour to enhance the flavors and meld the ingredients together.
  • Serve the Chevys Salsa with your favorite tortilla chips, nachos, tacos, or burritos for a delightful burst of flavors.

Notes

  • Enhance the Flavor: For a smoky depth of flavor, you can roast the tomatoes, onions, and jalapeno peppers before blending them.
  • Adjusting the Heat: To increase the spiciness, you can leave the seeds in the jalapeno peppers or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  • Balancing the Acidity: If the salsa tastes too acidic, adding a pinch of sugar or a squeeze of lime juice can help balance the flavors.
  • Customizing the Salsa: Feel free to add additional ingredients like diced bell peppers or corn kernels to personalize your Chevys Salsa.
  • Experimentation is Key: Don't be afraid to tweak the recipe to suit your taste preferences and discover your own perfect balance of flavors.
