My mother bought me a little food processor for Christmas. Yay, just what I always wanted, not.

Then she put some stuff in it and made some bad ass salsa. Just what I always wanted.

So I went to the store and bought some stuff I thought would be good for me to eat.

This is what I put in it:

Juice of 2 limes
2 mini sweet peppers
1 Habanero
2 Serrano peppers
1 Jalapeño
1/2 Avocado
2 Tomatoes a bit smaller than a baseball
A little Cilantro
5 mini pearl onions

Blended it up a bunch because I hate chunks in my salsa, and low and behold it's not bad at all.

I'd love to hear other brothers experience and recipes for some bad ass salsa.

3 tomatoes
1 white onion
1 jalapeño
Lime juice
Cilantro
I like mine chunky, so I just use a knife and chop it up. Simple.

I make sofrito, salsa, guacamole (for large parties, for me and the gf I do it by hand), and many sauces in my processor.

-2-3 tomatoes (if you can grill them to lightly char the outside its even better)
-1 jalapeno
-1 habanero
-juice of 2 limes
-1 red onion
-salt to taste
-cilantro

To give it an amazing taste and use it as a taco salsa just flame char the peppers and the tomatoes.

CAVEAT: I like my salsas hot.

2 Serranos
1 Jalapeno
1 Habanero
1 lime
1/4 cup tequila
Red onion diced
7-8 tomatoes diced (don't use Roma - not enough flavor)
Cilantro
1/4 teaspoon African Bird Pepper
Fine sea salt


I roast the chili peppers, remove their skins, and then dice. I do not remove the seeds (but please wear gloves because, if you don't, you will experience many levels of <cough><cough> "man pain" if you go to the bathroom within 4 hours after making this).

The juice the lime, add the tequila, diced tomatoes and onion, cilantro, and African Bird Pepper (you can buy this online, it's several times hotter than Cayenne).

To help distribute the heat evenly, I blend it all for just a few pulses. I don't like a smooth sauce but, if I don't do this, I find that some bites aren't too hot and other bites... well, I can see Jesus across 8 dimensions. And then add salt to taste.

Mmmmmmmm....salsa! My wife makes the best ever and even she won't tell me what she puts in it but I swear everytime she makes it and people come over they try to literally buy the recipe and she won't budge. I go shopping with her to see what the ingredients are and a lot of the taste comes from the right kind of peppers...they are yellow peppers that called by a different name in S. California which is where she got the recipe from....a mexican lady she worked with who swore her to secrecy about the recipe and started her own restaurant ( very popular for obvious reasons...people go there just to buy the salsa by the half gallon ) and the recipes on here are close...it's just a couple of ingredients that can turn a so-so salsa into a great salsa. ( I peeked into the cabinet and saw some packages....GUAJILLO PEPPER which is a dry pepper but is used to make stews but she uses it and cooks the salsa for hours with this....passila pepper as well....and the yellow peppers she uses don't have a name on them..just in a plastic bag. I do know she cooks this concoction for hours to get all of the ingredients to meld together and by the next day...heaven. It's the introduction of the habanero and jalapenos that give salsa it's heat....and if you don't want to burn your grandchildren take out some of the seeds inside those peppers.

This one of my absolute favorites that I make and it goes great with chicken and pork (I put the shit on steak fajitas too)

3 habanero peppers (stemmed, halved, and seeded)
1.5 cups pineapple chunks
1/3 cup yellow mustard
1/3 cup pineapple juice
4 Tbsp honey
1 Tbsp ground roasted coriander
3/4 tsp salt
1 Tbsp rum

Puree all ingredients until smooth.
Pour the puree into a sauce-pan and bring to a boil.
Transfer to jars.

Makes about 3 cups and will keep in the fridge for up to 2 months.

1/2 medium onion
4 roasted tomitllos (I think that's how it's spelled.)
1 Habanero pepper.
1 South Carolina Reaper pepper.
2 Sirano chillies.
2 cloves of garlic
The juice of 1 and a 1/2 limes
A pinch of salt and pepper
A pinch of paprika


Then serve this along side of my Guac. Bitches love my Guac. Which is

2 avacados
The other half of the onion from the salsa
The other half of the lime from the salsa
2 jalapeños chopped
Two tomatoes chopped
Mash and add a little water to give it a creamy consistency.


Put this on anything and watch the foodgasams occur.

I'd just rather have a good site where I can buy awesome salsa in mass quantities. Over all I find store salsa too much of a tomato puree.

Ok so I made my own salsa last weekend using a lot of the same ingredients you all have. But I added one half of these

Good grief what ever this thing is it's hot!
But the salsa came out pretty good. No one else will eat it because it's too hot for them. Pussies. Haha
