How To Make Restaurant Style Salsa | What's The Freakin' Recipe

jalapeño

🥗Healthier: serrano

💰Cheaper: green bell pepper

Serrano offers similar heat with fewer calories, while green bell pepper is milder and more affordable.

cilantro

🥗Healthier: parsley

💰Cheaper: spinach

Parsley provides a fresh taste, while spinach adds nutrients at a lower cost.

In a heavy bottom skillet over high heat, roast the garlic and jalapeños until slightly charred.

Turn on your fan to avoid smoking out the house while roasting.

Once charred, set the garlic and jalapeños aside to cool.

In a blender, add the can of tomatoes, jalapeños, garlic, a pinch of cumin, salt, and pepper.

Blend the mixture until slightly chunky.

Pour the salsa into a medium-sized bowl.

Add the chopped white onion and chopped cilantro to the bowl.

Mix until well incorporated.

Taste the salsa with a chip, adding more salt, pepper, or cumin if necessary.
