We had some record breaking snow here in Norfolk, VA that showed up late Wednesday. Between the cold, being stuck at the house, and missing making salsas from my garden during warmer months, I randomly stumbled upon the El Pato posts and decided to give it a shot. Threw on some boots and walked to my closest tienda about a mile away, which was one of the only places open. I decided to try armoredphoenix1’s recipe I found in a comment below, except I couldn’t get the yellow can so opted for the red. Also added a tiny bit of cumin and some garlic powder. The flavor is amazing! I’m impressed. Best laziness to salsa flavor ratio recipe I’ve experienced.
2 cans El Pato “yellow” (I used red because I couldn’t find yellow)
2 TBSP finely chopped fresh cilantro (I added a bit more)
2 TBSP finely diced white onion
2 tsp lime juice
1 tsp salt
A dash of garlic powder and cumin

It’s decent canned shit. That’s all.
Why the karma farming?

Thanks to this onslaught of posts here I have yellow, red, and green with no clear understanding of the difference between them. Maybe I’ll do a three-way salsa showdown

I’m really loving the dedication and how we are all coming together on this sub for El Pato. Lol maybe the world needs El Pato salsa. (I got my ingredients this morning. Lol)

I love the idea of reusing the can. It’s so chic.

So what’s the deal with these canned tomatoes? Is there something in them that makes them different from regular canned tomatoes?

Apparently, I must try this too. I was surprised I couldn’t find El Pato at HEB! So I guess I’ll try Walmart or La Michocana tomorrow. This looks great.

Was going to hop on the bandwagon until I noticed El Pato has yellow 5 in it. Why even?

Okay I have to ask…are these ready to eat out of the can? Or are they just a base? Sorry I found this post on my front page.

Yeah yeah, you hiked through the snow, for 5 miles, uphill, BOTH ways, just to get it.
