Happy New Year, everyone. Wow, it's been awhile since I posted anything on here, so I better get to work! The truth is, Jeff has been doing a significant amount of the cooking (1) because he's wonderful and (2) because I've been working later. We ate some delicious authentic Mexican tacos last night with homemade tortillas. If you're ever in Roanoke, TX give Tortilla Flats a try! But, that did put me in a mood for some south of the border recipes. The salsa recipe is from Leatta's mom, Arlene, and is so delicious. It makes a huge batch, so be ready to share. The margarita recipe is an old tried and true staple that we've been making since graduate school. Enjoy!
Arlene's Homemade Salsa
1 can diced tomatoes (14 oz)
1 large can crushed tomatoes
1 to 2 cans El Pato hot sauce (1 for mild, 2 for medium)
1 red onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
1 bunch green onions, chopped
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
Place first 3 ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Add red onion, green pepper, green onions, and cilantro. Stir well until ingredients are spread evenly throughout. Regrigerate at least 1 hour before serving (making the night before you plan to eat this is even better).
Margarita Mayhem
6 oz frozen limeade concentrate
6 oz blanco or silver tequila
2 oz triple sec
6 oz Sprite or lemon-lime flavored soda
5 cups crushed ice
Place first 4 ingredient in blender and then add ice until full. Blend well and serve.
