Pico de gallo.

Just made this Sunday for the 1st time(except I included cilantro), and polished it off last night for dinner. Simply awesome. If you don't want it too mushy/liquidy, make sure you discard the seedy/gelatin part of the tomatoes before dicing.

As for the disclaimer.....

Pics?
 
if I'm buying it at the store, I actually really like the generic store brand hot salsa (shoprite) mixed with some hot sauce.
 
Place in Denver Metro area called La Fogata, I buy a pint of theirs, everything at the store is pure trash that only a tasteless suburbanite could settle for 😛
 
The salsa they sell at Costco is pretty bangin, I don't know what brand it is but they sell it in the big plastic 'jars'.

Homemade salsa recipes pls

I use a Vita-Mix, so YMMV.

Get the items in bold. Halve each ingredient. Put half of each into the blender and turn it into a liquid. Put the other half in and pulse it for a bit. Make it as chunky or fine as desired.

The slush guarantees that every bite will have every flavor. The chunks are for texture and added flavor. Add diced cilantro last, and allow the flavors to mix before serving.

How do you dice cilantro? 😛

Chop-chop-chop-chop.

I recently bought this and really like it.

It's thin, which makes it very good for cooking too.

i like herdez, they make some good stuff. but im not a salsa snob, i enjoy a well made home salsa (which i make on occasion), but ill go with a jar from the store to save time. usually ill get herdez, but there are others i will buy too. tostitos isnt one of them, unless its the salsa con queso.
 
I like Frontera salsa. They have a lot of flavors so I just get whatever I feel in the mood for. I tend to like green tomatillo salsas, but sometimes I like to get a hot salsa with garlic.

This, minus the lime and with a bit of browned garlic.

Salsa shouldn't be garlicky, that's what guacamole is for 🙂
I just went through a batch of homemade guac
I made carnitas with spanish/mexican rice (whatever you want to call it) with guacamole on the side. I finished it off today with some homemade chili.

guacamole shouldnt be garlicy either. (salsa should have a bit of it tho)

Yep, something like this is what I make, but I put a bunch of cilantro in mine because I love cilantro and I would never use lemon juice.

Real pico is made with lime juice and cilantro. Above, someone noted to get rid of the seeds and mushy stuff from the tomato - try using roma tomatoes.

5 Roma Tomatoes
1/2 Medium Yellow Onion
1-2 Serrano Peppers
Cilantro to taste - I prefer less, wife loves more
Juice of 3 Limes
Salt

It's really all to taste - I use more onion, wife uses less - sometimes I seed the peppers, sometimes not. You can always add more tomatoes/limejuice/onions if you make it too hot.
 
Pico de gallo and similarly chunky salsas (not the tomato-paste-y stuff).

Not my favorite but Salsa + sour cream + ranch mix is also pretty tasty. Sounds gross but it isn't. Obviously closer to french onion dip than a salsa.
 
For chips try this:

Take cream cheese out of the fridge ~30 mintues before eating. Poor on salsa. Nothing is better tasting. Nothing.

I'm not a fan of cilantro (I'm in the ~10% of the world that tastes massively strong citrus and even stronger SOAP with just a flake of cilantro). So that takes most jarred stuff out of the rhelm of possibilities. I usually make my own with similar recipies to what is above. Tomatoes, onions, jalepenos, and a few spices. People hate the idea but that is exactly what is in Pace Chunky. So for jarred stuff, that is the best I can find (I do like vinegar though).
