Cyndy's Salsa

I live in the southwest and we love our Salsa's (and taco's!). My
contribution is a fast and easy salsa recipe. Make it to your own spec's if
you like it more/less spicy.

Step One: in a small pot boil 8 green serrano chili's in just enough water
to cover them until they take on a white-ish tinge. While boiling:

In a blender combine:

3 cans tomato sauce
Tablespoon (or more) garlic salt
4 or 5 cloves of garlic
1 or 2 fresh jalapeƱo's (to taste, but remember that it gets hotter the
longer it sits)
4 serrano's (to taste, 4 will be pretty hot)

Blend all together, taste. Add more of the above until you get it the way
you like it. Freeze the 4 extra serrano's for next time.

After you complete blending add two large fists full of chopped cilantro,
stems and all. (chopping it prior will reduce the time you need to pulse.)
PULSE the cilantro into the salsa. Blending will cause your salsa to turn
green and look yucky so PULSE only.

I have another salsa recipe that involves green tomato's and avocado's if
anyone is interested!

great fast recipe!
