condiment Fresh green salsa with red tomato's

This recipe is for a fresh uncooked green salsa with red tomato's. I use this on bean burrito's and other dishes to add a zing and balance to red hot sauce.
 
Ingredients:
 
  • 2 or 3 cups of fresh cilantro (see picture)
  • 1 ripe red tomato
  • 1/2 onion
  • 1 large serrano pepper or 1/2 jalapeno pepper
  • 2 cloves of garlic (add as much as you like)
  • the juice of one lime (add more if required in order to get enough liquid to merge all ingredients properly)
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (season to your taste)
  • 1 teaspoon bottled red hot sauce
  • 2&1/2 to 3 tablespoons of grapeseed oil

Drizzle the grapeseed oil into the food processor from the top while it is running. This will help to emulsify the mixture. Process for about 90 seconds The color and texture will smooth a bit.

Sauce looks awesome. :drooling:  I make something similar with roasted tomatillos. 
 
Nice Tacos!! oh I mean Burritos.   :party:
Nice!. I am going to try some stuff with roasted Tomatio's. Sometimes they aren't readily available in our  region, but across the border ( I live right on the border) they are there all the time since there is a huge Mexican population that lives in the town. Lot's of varieties of peppers and Guerrero corn tortillas there also.

 I'm glad you made that comment because it got me wondering about the distinction . So I did some Googling and wow!. you are so right. Those are actually Tacos (not burrito's). I always associated a Taco as something with a hard shell, but they actually originated as a soft wrap. The Burrito is a recent invention that usually has rice and some beans involved. The ones I make would really be Tacos not Burritos.  :surprised:
 
That looks great, but what happens on the ninth day?

:lol:   9 days is the longest I have kept it without any ill effects. So I wondered if it was wise to keep pushing my luck and drew the line at 9, but it's usually time to make another batch before that happens.
