Store-bought salsa

[1stTimeCaller]

I'm really liking Joe T Garcia's. I just tried some meduim. I'm going to try the tomatillo next.

What kind of store-bought salsas do the fine people of the SO enjoy?

[JohnnyMack]

[StoopTroup]

Hell on the Red - HOT only.

LMAO...And store bought SUCCS

[1stTimeCaller]

I liked HOTR until I saw that Joe T sold his salsa in the grocery store.

[Frozen Sooner]

I like Reser's, but good luck getting it up here anymore. Safeway apparently won't stock it.

[silverwheels]

The National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum has (had?) some badass habanero salsa. Burned off my taste buds.

[TopDaugIn2000]

The tostitos restaurant style is pretty good. That's what I usually get.

[Fugue]

It's not Costanza but it's close, Cotenza or Cotanza or something. It's tasty and only in the Mexican section and not usually by the Pace etc... Get the medium first, it's plenty hot.

:hot:

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

Mrs. Renfro makes really good green salsa that's hot. I also like some kind that you buy in a jar in the refrigerated section. It has a white label. I don't think it's HOTR, but maybe it is.

[JohnnyMack]

Also the stuff called Woman Scorned is good too. Kinda hard to find.

[Czar Soonerov]

When I don't make it myself I buy it from Teds.

[Tulsa_Fireman]

Herdez. Also in the mexican section.

[Blue]

Is Pace not cool anymore or something?

[Beef]

Herdez. Also in the mexican section.
Good stuff.
I also like El Fenix.

[Fraggle145]

I make my own salsa.

yes, I am cool like that.

[sanantoniosooner]

Yeah, I make my own too.

Sometimes I get it a little hot.

[Fraggle145]

Habnero... mmm

Sometimes if Im feeling frisky I make it with mangos, most of the time I have it straight up tho...

[StuIsTheMan]

I make my own salsa.

Fresh ihomemade s the best...plus you can let it sit in the fridge for a few days...gets it a little hotter

Mango salsa

goes good with roast duck

and your taste in music!

Ba-dum crash!

[silverwheels]

I bet a salsa named "Radiohead" would suck. :P ;)

hell ya I like to put it in a jar and let the peppers just melt the hell ot of everything else. You have to eat mine within a week week and a half... it has avocados in it as well. The Mango is really good with habanero those flavors were just made for eachother. and the sweet makes it just hot enuf... mmm salsa...

[SoonerBK]

Amateurs...Go here:

www.joysfoods.com

and buy the salsa mix for $9.00 plus shipping. It is just one tablespoon to one can of diced tomatoes. It takes about 13 seconds to make up. It is really good. It comes in a four ounce jar, and makes about two gallons of good salsa.

:hot:

[Harry Beanbag]

I can't recall ever eating store bought salsa that was really any good.

[1stTimeCaller]

I thought that maybe with 'store-bought' in the thread title the salsa snobs would stay away and I could learn what other people buy in the store.

I'm glad you clowns reminded me that this was posted on the South Oval.

[sanantoniosooner]

I ate a Totinos pizza for lunch today.

I'm not a snob about any food.

It's just fun to make your own salsa.

[1stTimeCaller]

do you have salsa in your fridge right now?

[sanantoniosooner]

do you have salsa in your fridge right now?
I've got some I made a few nights ago, and some Pace that's been sitting there since I learned to make it.

Here to help...NOW MAKE YOUR OWN!...it tastes better and saves kittens

Totino's are always on sale here, 10 for $10. We eat a lot of them.

And 1TC did ask "What kind of store-bought salsas do the fine people of the SO enjoy?"

I buy it constantly hoping I'll find something I like but am constantly disappointed. There are plenty that are okay, Herdez and Pace to name a couple. Probably my all-time favorite was Old El Paso Picante, but I haven't been able to find it since leaving Oklahoma. :(

I don't think they sell Joe T.'s out here, it may be great for all I know.

[1stTimeCaller]

It's just not practical in a 5th wheel. That's why I was asking about store bought salsa because I'd like to find some that is good.

Salsa snobs are worse than Lips snobs ;)

[Mongo]

Hot Carl's Xtra Chunky Style

It is extra thick so it will stay on your chip

[Sooner_Bob]

Herdez. Also in the mexican section.

No thanks. I don't like corn or peanuts in my salsa.

[sanantoniosooner]

most pussified excuse I've ever heard.

Park a grill outside the 5th wheel. Grill some Roma tomatoes and some jalepenos and chop it all up on a cutting board.

How small is your trailer?

[Harry Beanbag]

All you really need is a blender to make good salsa, other than a knife and the ingredients of course.

[Jeopardude]

If you go store bought, Timpones Salsa Muy Rica is AWESOME.

[sanantoniosooner]

All you really need is a blender to make good salsa, other than a knife and the ingredients of course.
I do all my chopping on a cutting board. No blender needed for the beginning salsateer.

now I gotta haul a grill around with me?

Actually I was planning on doing just that but there isn't a dishwasher and I'm maxed out on kitchen gadget storage space. Crock pot, toaster, electric burner thing and pyrex baking tray things, a muffin tin and a meatloaf tin and I'm outta space.

I'm also very messy and forgot to take my dishes inside and put them in the washer after my last job. The trailer is pretty big, I'm just out of space and washing facilities.

Ohhhh, you make pico de gallo. Salsa is cooked, pico is not.

[sanantoniosooner]

So you are going to live in a 5th Wheel and not use a grill.

Go sit in the corner with Sic'em.

[sanantoniosooner]

I roasted on the grill. Is that cooking in your book?

I guess you could call it that if you have to be technical about it, but it serves the same purpose.

Just make sure you put on fresh socks first though.

I've only cooked mine once and it was all the same to me.

<peeks out of SicEm's corner>

Ima go buy a grill tomorrow. A little cheap mofo and I'm gonna grill some stuff.:P

[sanantoniosooner]

If you grill the tomatoes and peppers before, you don't have to cook after. It takes a little work to get the mixture even without a blender, but it only takes a few minutes.

I'm ready to start experimenting more with it.

[1stTimeCaller]

That's it. Ima get one tonight and take pictures. I know how much the SO loves my pictures.

Hey Booty, whachu be wantin' a picture of?

Best way to skin your peppers, too. I don't get all that fancy with it though. You can use the burner on your stove. Hell, for you power tool types, you can use a propane torch.

Just put the pepper on an open flame until it's entirely black. Put it under cold water and the waxy skin rubs right off with your thumb. Almost instant roasted peppers. It softens the flesh, gets rid of the waxy skin, and gives it an almost smoky flavor. Very bueno. Works for salsa, pico, stuffed bells, relleno, you name it. Fits awesomely with tomatillo salsas, as it helps to knock just a lil' bit of the tart off the tomatillos.

Give it a shot!

[soonerboomer93]

best advise for preparing peppers and that's really along the traditional lines (roasting and skinning). If you freeze them post roasting/skinning they'll become hotter over time.


oh, and store bought, I just use pace because well, they have it here

[King Crimson]

gas stove on high (rotating them with tongs) or a toaster oven are the best way to roast peppers i know.

for store bought, i usually buy what is on sale and add cilantro and ground cumin, and shake the jar like a mofo and put it in the fridge.

[Fraggle145]

come over to the dark side 1tc!!!

Once you make it yourself the 1st time you never go back...

BTW. Does cooking the mixture with lime juice count a la ceviche style?

[BajaOklahoma]

Salsa can be cooked, but I like the salsa frescas best. I probably 30 or more recipes, from which I devised my own recipe.
In the Winter, I have even resorted to using Ro*Tel as the base.
I usually make it a gallon at a time, which lasts a week if the kids aren't around. The hotter, the better.

[SicEmBaylor]

I use a grill. Regularly.
I love grilling actually and I'm not too bad at it.

[bluedogok]

I get the Hell On The Red as well, both mild and hot. The hot makes good queso, much better than Rotel. I like it better than Joe T. salsa.

I have made my own fresh, uncooked salsa in the past but for the most part I am too lazy to make it all the time.

[Sooner Born Sooner Bred]

The kind I was trying to think of earlier is called Ironhead.

is it from Eufala?

Herdez green tomatillo salsa in the 6 oz cans are pretty good. or El Pato jalapeno salsa, yellow can.
