EDIT* Clearly some people cant read i guess. This IS an actual recipe from the restaurant. It isn't AI. i just dont know how to scale it down for home use hence i suggested maybe ChatGPT knew how to do it. If you can scale it down yourself then good.
This is table salsa they serve with chips at a Mexican restaurant. Its not overly spicy but has great flavor. This is a large recipe they use. You can ask ChatGPT to scale it down to a pint for home use.
Boil 40 Roma Tomatoes, 20 Jalapenos, 2-3 Habaneros for about 15 minutes. Blend with 12 garlic cloves, 4 ounces of oregano, 4 ounces of salt, and 2 large #10 cans of whole peeled tomatoes (About 102 ounces each can). They used Isabella brand. They also used the water the tomatoes and peppers were boiling in. After blending they stirred large ladle of finely chopped raw onion and cilantro.

This recipe is from El Riconcito Mexican Grill in Madera, CA. Let me know if anyone tries it!
I don’t think the original post had clarity before being edited

I understand so the recipe is from the restaurant you visited but at the scale they make it and you could scale it down for personalized portions using ChatGPT
Uh oh you said one of reddit’s most hated words
I know a lot of people like myself have been wanting the table restaurant style salsa served with chips. This is a great restaurant and the owner Janet shared it with me. I thought id share because it taste so good and you can make it for game days and parties. I apologize if i confused anyone. I hope you enjoy it. This is how i will be making my salsa and chips for my netflix binges. lol
Personally I wouldn’t use red onion, but I appreciate the recipe and can see how a small amount might work.
I’d rather have AI salsa over salsa from California.

Awesome looks delicious!
Since you’re including the water used to boil, how much water?
served hot or cold?
This looks good. For anyone unfamiliar with arnitex (YouTube) he has something extremely similar (and more). Not affiliated, I just have tried a bunch of his recipes and they’re phenomenal.
I’m a newbie but I’ve always roasted the veggies, not boiled. How does this change the flavor and should I try it?
There is a place in a city I grew up in Lewisville, TX . I now drive 20 miles just to get a chips and salsa to go. I wish I could figure out how to make their salsa.
Can someone comment on why they use both fresh and canned tomatoes? Just curious what this does, I’ve always used one or the other
