Guajillo Tomatillo Salsa

January 26, 2024

If you’re looking for an easy but incredibly flavorful salsa, look no further. This Guajillo Tomatillo Salsa is so easy to make and only requires 5 main ingredients! Don’t be intimidated by the dried peppers, I promise they are easy to work with and you can use them for various dishes. If you don’t have them readily available at a grocery store then you can easily order some online. Check out Amazon or this online store for a variety of dried peppers. I have seen them at our local Wal-Mart as well so might be worth checking there also. This salsa reminds me of the hot salsa from Chipotle, (my fave), and you will seriously want it on ALL the things!

Salsa Roja

July 16, 2021

Salsa Roja in stone molcajete. Serrano pepper garnish, tomato prop

Salsa roja is a staple in Mexican cuisine and rightfully so. It is so flavorful, bright, and delicious drizzled on all the things. Growing up there was always a salsa roja on the table for whatever meal it may have been. My abuelita always made sure there were plenty of options and knew we all had preference on what kind of salsa we wanted. Her salsa roja was always so dang good and I could never understand why or how. Until now. She always roasted the veggies for her salsas. Ok, maybe not always but definitely most of the time. The flavor was so ridiculously good and the little specks of roasted burnt pieces of the veggies really made it special.

Mango Salsa

June 26, 2020

Looking for something sweet and spicy to put on tacos, on grilled chicken, or just to munch on?? Look no further! This Mango Salsa is perfect for the summer heat and adds so much flavor to any grilled food. It’s not traditional, it’s something different but so delicious you won’t be able to stop eating it!

Blue bowl with mango salsa including mango, cilantro, red onion, red bell pepper. Hand dipping tortilla chip into mango salsa. Chips, cilantro, red onion, limes, and jalapeno in picture.

When I think about summer I think of grilled meals, frozen margaritas, pool time, and this delicious mango salsa. I love making a batch of this to take the pool and eat with some tortilla chips. It is also divine on top of grilled chicken breast or grilled shrimp tacos. There’s really nothing like a sweet and savory mix with a little added heat. Another great thing about this recipe? It is so incredibly easy and quick to put together for a last minute gathering, potluck, or snack!

Salsa Verde

January 3, 2020

There is lots of debate about the better salsa: verde o roja? Green or red salsa? To me, this is hands down the BEST salsa, period. Don’t take my word for it though, go try it out yourself!

I am sure you have a favorite salsa at your favorite Mexican restaurant or your favorite store bought kind. I am pretty confident when I say this will definitely be on the top of your list. It is a popular recipe and it is a great salsa to drizzle over your favorite tacos, eggs, quesadillas, etc. It is also the perfect base for my pozole verde which you can find here.
