ORDER LATIN TWIST

If you ever come to my home you will find this salsa in my refrigerator, freezer, or on my countertop
with some tortilla chips. This is the salsa I grew up eating and I cant live without it. I add this salsa to
my spinach omelet every morning and top my dinner with it too. Im like my mother and have to eat
chile with every meal, yes, even if its not a Mexican meal. I need spiceI crave it. If you own a copy
of our cookbook this salsa might look familiar to you.
Every year we stock our garage freezer with bushels of fire roasted long green chile from Pueblo. Its a
tradition now since Ive been living in Colorado. In El Paso we always bought Hatch green chile. I
honestly cant tell the difference, but Im not a green chile connoisseur. Both are amazing and of

course depending on the season one may be spicier than the other.
This is the simple house salsa I grew up eating. My grandma, Jesusita made this same salsa daily.
First shed roast the long green chiles, and then shed peel them. Instead of using a food processor or
blender, she would squeeze the roasted chiles and tomatoes with her bare hands to make the salsa.
Just being near the chiles made my eyes water, but her hands seemed magically impervious to the
burn.

From my childs perspective, her hands looked so strong and yet so gentle to me. As I watched her
make the salsa, shed tell me stories about how she picked cotton as a little girl and washed clothes
by hand using a metal washboard in boiling water. It was then I realized why her hands looked so
strongshe had labored with them her entire life to feed and clothe her family.
My grandma had a garden and would home grow tomatoes and can them. My mom makes her same
recipe but she simplified it by using Hunts whole tomatoes and sauce because she likes the flavor
and the consistency more than any other brand. Mother knows best, and this is how I make it too. I
always make sure to make plenty to stock in my freezer.

LAURA (TUTTI DOLCI) February 7, 2013 @ 5:26 pm

LEA ANN (COOKING ON THE RANCH) February 8, 2013 @ 7:25 am

Well it doesnt get any easier than that. Ill have to give this a try. Thanks Yvette.

VICTORIA OF FLAVORS OF THE SUN February 12, 2013 @ 7:16 am

It is always wonderful to see family recipes, and this salsa looks so good, so casera, so
real. I can almost taste it.

MARIE February 22, 2013 @ 5:33 am

This salsa is the bomb. It makes everything taste good.

case would I cook the tomatoes?

MUY BUENO replied: June 6th, 2013 @ 5:41 pm

Hi Thya,
Its more about simplicty. Our grandma always used home stewed
tomatoes. You could also try roasting tomatoes to give your salsa an
added smoky flavor. Either way I promise you will love this salsa. Keep
us posted!

KYLIE April 14, 2014 @ 11:58 am

Just found your blog, some very interesting recipes. Cant wait to try some out. I noticed this
recipe was sponsored by Hunts. Well. whether it was or not, the only canned tomatoes i
ever use are Hunts or Muir Organic. The Hunts petite diced ones, are incredible.

MIKE June 23, 2014 @ 7:38 am

Have to go with Hatch green chiles over Anaheims

MUY BUENO replied: June 23rd, 2014 @ 8:38 am

I agree Mike! We grew up eating Hatch. I suggest Anaheim because it is


readily available compared to regional Hatch chile.

ROB February 10, 2015 @ 6:46 pm

Do you hold the juice from canned toms?

MUY BUENO replied: February 24th, 2015 @ 2:27 pm

Hi Rob, no I throw in tomatoes and the juice. Super simple recipe and
sooooo delicious!
