Freshman year I got totally obsessed with eating black beans. Weird, I know. During my crazy obsession I was finding every way possible to include them in my meals. That lead to my homemade salsa adventure. I began making quesadillas, burritos, and sometimes just a bowl of black beans, salsa, and shredded cheese (I'm telling you I LOVED them). This adventure has turned into the life of the party! Every where I take the salsa, guaranteed someone asks for the recipe. So, if you are invited to a gathering and need a quick side to bring, whip up this winner.
I found this recipe somewhere on the internet four years ago, and have tweaked it and made it my own. Here is the original:
- 2 Cans of Diced Tomatoes
- 2 Tablespoons of Lemon Juice
- 1 Fresh Jalapeno Pepper, chopped
- Chopped Onion
- 3 Drops of Hot Pepper Sauce
- 1 Clove of Garlic, minced
- Banana Pepper Juice
Blend until desired. Chill.
I always make this salsa in a hurry so I keep a jar of sliced jalapeno peppers, chopped onion in a jar, and minced garlic in a jar on hand. For the freshest results, use the "real" thing, of course. I have also figured out along the way that I like to add jalapeno juice and lots of banana pepper juice than stated. I also add 10 drops of hot pepper sauce, rather than 3, but find what you like best. Stephen and I like our salsa hot and spicy, so the best thing is just to start out with the original recipe, and add a little bit more every time until you find your desired amount.
