Jesusita's House Salsa

4 from 1 ratings

This is the salsa my mom would make with her bare hands. I can’t imagine how squeezing the roasted chiles with her bare hands didn’t burn them, truly something amazing. I loved her salsa casera so much I would make salsa burritos, one right after the other, until she’d make me stop. She was afraid I would eat it all and not leave any for the rest of the family or get a stomachache. Luckily I must have inherited her cast-iron stomach, because I never got a stomachache from eating too much salsa or spicy chile.

Ingredients

6-7 anaheim chiles, roasted and peeled
1-2 jalapeños, roasted (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cloves garlic, finely diced
one 14.5-ounce can whole tomatoes
1/4 cup tomato sauce

Directions

In a food processor or blender, pulse the roasted and peeled chiles, jalapeños, if using, salt, garlic, canned tomatoes, and tomato sauce for a few seconds. You do not want to pureée it — chunky is best with this flavorful salsa.
