red salsa from mexican restaurants?

Posted by: admin  /  Category: Mexican Appetizers


anyone know the recipe for the red salsa you get with chips as an appetizer before you order? its by far ( to me ) the best salsa ever.
ten points to best description, and instruction.
thanks in advance to all that answer this.

Easy recipe but every restaurant’s salsa is different, some I’ve tried are pretty bland while some are amazing. This can be prepared on the stovetop or in the microwave oven, or even uncooked, which is usually called pico de gallo.

1 medium onion
3 medium tomatoes
1 to 3 jalapenos, depending on heat of jalapenos available and individual preference
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 Tbsp chopped cilantro (optional) I personally do not like the flavor

Chop first 3 ingredients or grind in blender or food processor. Add next 3 ingredients and cook over medium heat until it reaches the texture you desire. Some prefer less cooking for a chunkier salsa, some prefer more cooking for a smoother consistency.

    If you want to make salsa just like theirs next time you’re there ask the waitress/waiter or manager if you could have the recipe.

    Its impossible to give you a recipe for the red salsa you get at mexican restaurants. Not all taste the same. It also depends on the cooks. (not all the cooks cook the same way everyone is different) But I’m sure an ingredient they all use is cilantro. Cilantro makes salsa taste really good and without it doesn’t taste the same.
