For those of you who regularly read this blog and see all of the fabulous recipes that Ashleigh posts, you’re gonna want to sit down….

I’m posting a recipe!!!!!

You will never see a squash soup recipe I made up or homemade ravioli from this girl, but this salsa is quick and easy and my “Go to” recipe whenever I need to bring a snack somewhere. I keep most all of the ingredients on hand and it takes all of 5 minutes to make. I have to give a shout out to my brother -in-law, Curtis, who got this recipe when he was living in Arizona and I have changed just a few things over the years.

These are the ingredients….

2 Cans Stewed Tomatoes (Mexican or Italian style, either works)
1 Small Can El Pato brand Mexican tomato sauce (in the ethnic food section of my grocery)
1/2 small jar of Herdez brand salsa (also in the ethnic food section)
3-4 green onions chopped coarsely
1/3 bunch of fresh cilantro chopped coarsely
2-4 cloves garlic (depending on size of clove and preference)

Literally open cans, coarsely chop and throw it all in the blender.
I blend it pretty well, this is more of a liquidy salsa, rather than chunky.

I pour it into mason jars and pop into the fridge. It seems to keep well for up to a week but usually doesn’t last that long around here. I even gave these out (with chips) as Christmas gifts one year to my neigbors and kids’ teachers. I said something about spicing up the holidays on a tag.

So, I hope this spices up your next tortilla chip, or taco, or burrito!
And don’t hold your breath for any more of my recipes.
