Chillin on my back porch. I just got home from eating an $18 taco at a fancy restaurant. It was good, but it wasn’t enough so I decided to make some fresh salsa and some chips. The fancy restaurant did not serve chips and salsa – probably separate, but I didn’t see it on the menu.

Is that a blanco tequila?
Recipe?
Well let me be the first to give you your salsa a compliment. I thought it was restaurant salsa, and I almost flailed it as that. Because it looks so pretty.
People are constantly asking how to make something that looks like restaurant salsa, so what was your recipe?
Recipe
Super simple
Ingredients:
One Roma tomato
Or Guajillo chilies seeded
1/2 of a small yellow onion
One clove of garlic
One 7 3/4 ounce can of El Pato hot tomato sauce
Around a teaspoon of lime juice
And a quarter of a teaspoon of agave nectar
Salt and pepper to taste
(if you want to give it a bit of a smoky flavor, you could put in one 12:45 half teaspoon of chipotle powder)
Method:
Heat up a little bit, avocado oil or grapefruit oil in a pan
Toss in the tomato, the onion, the peppers, and give them a little toasting. Just before you’re done throw in the clove of garlic and toast a bit more
Add a little bit of water (this will hydrate those peppers some) and let it simmer. Tell the water is gone.
Remove it all from the pan toss it in the blender. Add your can of El Pato hot tomato sauce, the lime juice and the agave nectar. Salt and pepper at the taste.(I’m mostly just new salt.) I added a little bit of garlic powder as well.
Blended tell it creamy and there you have it

I wonder what kind of dishes are their main attraction. I’ve been to a lot of fancy Mexican restaurants in the Chicago area and they all give you chips and salsa. Even the ones that aren’t fancy give them to you. I’m actually struggling to think of a place that doesn’t lol. That’s like the beauty of them. Like every restaurant serves free water is a golden beautiful rule, Mexican restaurants serve free chips and salsa as well.
