My -most- favorite food (for now :welldone2: ) is chips and salsa. ((makes my mouth Water just seeing these words))

Problem is, Im having a hard time finding a good tasting salsa outside of Chilie's or O'Charley's (or any other restuarant).

So? This means I need to try making it at home. :nervous

Any good receipes out there??

I just made a batch using canned chopped tomato's - yuck! I HAVE to get some fresh ones.

Basics: I used lime pepper (didnt have any real ones) and the lime pepper is from when I make my tilapia fish. I also used red onion, jalapeno, onion powder & black pepper, oh - and cilantro. The cilantro is sweet, right?

What kind of onion do you use?

((different onions give different flavors, thats why I ask))

I was on my way to pick up Dawg yesterday and there was this hot red truck in front of me with the plates: SALSA

Made me think of this thread with a chuckle. :confused:

Shelly - I looked for the white american chedder cheese at Walmart, but didnt see it!

Your queso receipe is definately something Im gonna try.

Look out Susan - this thread is going to cause you to break that mushy phase!!! SOOOOO many yummy ideas!

I use white onions, I like the taste better.

Paula - I'm out of the mushies. Had my first fill on Tues, did the two days of liquids and now I'm on free range. Scary in so many ways! This thread started while I was on mushies and I avoided it until now! And I'm glad I did! *laughs*

pineapple salsa sounded SO good to me!

:hail: ShadyMae!!!

:omg: :omg: :omg: :omg:

how much do I owe you?

Just a note on cilantro - sometimes it tastes a little bit soapy. If you get a good batch, it is GREAT - but once in a while, if your salsa tastes like soap - throw out the cilantro!

You might try chewing on a leaf before you mix, just to be sure your cilantro is good.
