When asked what’s your greatest weakness when it comes to food, the answer without question is chips and salsa. Self-control is hard for me anytime I am in the presence of warm chips and homemade salsa. The good news for you is I have the world’s best salsa recipe to share. This is a frequently requested recipe by friends.
I met Hailey while working in Lubbock and she introduced me to this recipe. I’ll never forget the day she brought in a huge tub of this salsa and we all devoured it. I couldn’t believe how amazing it tasted. She would bring in this dip periodically and we would grab a big bag of the Market Street tortilla chips and by the end of the day it was gone.
Here is how you make the Salsa
Ingredients
- 7-8 Roma tomatoes cut in half
- 1 small white sliced onion
- 1 jalapeno cut in half
- 3-4 garlic cloves
- Olive oil
- ½ cup cilantro
- 1-2 Chipotle peppers with Adobo sauce
- Salt
- Juice from 1 lime
Instructions
- Place tomatoes, onions, garlic and jalapenos on a baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and salt. Bake 400° until veggies are roasted (roughly 20 – 30 min)
- Halfway through the cook time pull the baking sheet out and stir to ensure all sides are getting cooked
- Add all roasted veggies to a blender and add the cilantro, adobe peppers and lime juice. Blend until well mixed
- Taste and adjust flavor and heat by adding more peppers, salt and lime juice.
- Serve warm and enjoy
Homemade chips are always a good choice to serve with this salsa however a close second is Julio’s Tortilla Chips, made right here in Texas. They can be found at most grocery stores in Texas. If you need a recipe for a gathering or a night in with the family this dip will not disappoint.
