Salsa Picoso (serves 6)
8 roma tomatoes
3 jalapenos
1/2 small white onion diced
1/4 bunch cilantro minced
2 cloves garlic
1/4 tsp lime juice
1/4 tsp ground cumin
salt
The best way to prepare this is on the grill. Grill the tomatoes and jalapenos on medium high heat until blackened on all sides, about 15 minutes. If you cannot grill, put them in a pan, cover with water and boil for 20 minutes.
Take the stems off of the jalapenos and in two batches add the tomatoes, garlic cloves and jalapenos, with 1/4 cup water in the blender. Pulse 10 times, stopping between the last 4 pulses to make sure the salsa doesnt get liquified into a soup but is still rather chunky (kind of like the veggies are all minced really fine in liquid)
Then pour the mix into a large bowl. Add the cilantro, diced onions, lime juice, and ground cumin. Stir the salsa and salt to taste. I usually add about 2 tsp. Enjoy at room temperature.
Chips
Buy white corn tortillas set the stack on a cutting board and chop them in half one way then in half the other way...so in quarters.
In a deep fryer fry them for 1 minute on 350 degrees. If you do not have a deep fryer, heat 4 cups oil in a soup pan on medium high heat.
Once the oil is hot but not smoking add in a handfull of cut tortillas at a time and fry for 1 minute. Drain the oil from the chips on paper towels and sprinkle them lightly with salt.
