I did two cans, half onion, almost the whole like, the whole jalapeño, and twice as much cilantro as you see. Oh and salt + a few dashes of cumin.
Wasn’t blown away, but definitely better than any store bought salsa I’ve ever had. It has some specific taste to it that makes it feel like it’s from a local restaurant. It’s a little watery in my opinion, but maybe I didn’t dry my cilantro all the way or it needs more salt. I actually love using (good) canned tomatoes for salsa, and do like the tomato flavor, so will for sure try this again or even try to “roast” this to see if I can bring out the tomato flavor.
Also, even with the jalapeño, not really spicy imo! But there’s some spice for sure.

It looks delicious.
Once combined you could simmer it in a pot for a few minutes and that should help with it being on the watery side
This looks exactly like the salsa from my favorite taqueria
El Pato borders too spicy compared to any tacquieras to me. Odd. To each their own though
Never would’ve known to try but I am curious now. But I’m gonna add some serrano’s to it and maybe a tad of garlic
I’m convinced now. Gonna try it tomorrow. Making fajitas
Is it the tomato sauce specifically that we want? Or the hot salsa? Or any El Pato?
When you say “store bought” salsa, do you mean canned? Or fresh? Like the ones in the refrigerated section
Did your bunka knife come from Bernal Cutlery by any chance?
Looks great to me.
I have been wanting to try this but I want to try grilling the peppers and onions. Not sure if that’ll be a fail but we’ll find out this weekend
I don’t get the appeal. any ripe roma destroys this.
