Uncle Bob's Salsa

My dad use to make this super addictive salsa. It's not too spicy so it's really easy to eat half a bag of chips with it. His chili kili tastes the best with this salsa recipe.

• 2 cans peeled tomatoes put in food processor or use crushed tomatoes


• 4-5 chopped garlic cloves


• 2 chopped onions


• 3-4 yellow wax chilies chopped


• olive oil


• garlic salt, chopped parsley and cilantro, lemon zest

1. sauté chopped garlic, onion and chillies

2. add about 1-3/4 cans of crushed tomatoes

3. add spices to liking

-tip- the lemon zest is mostly used so that the salsa will not turn brown

4. simmer for about an hour

 

uncle bob's chili kili

My dad use to make this for a fun dinner when I was  a kid and it was my favorite. I always thought he made it up until I saw it on the menu at a little taquerilla. These hot, crunchy, spicy and cheesy chips are a perfect football day food.

• salsa (for best results use my dad's salsa recipe)
• corn tortillas cut into chip size triangles
• parmesan cheese

1. put salsa in mixing bowl and set aside.

2. fry corn tortillas in oil then quickly stir the hot tortillas into the salsa and pour plenty of parmesan cheese while mixing it all together. Serve hot. muy delicioso!

Avocado Dip

Easy-n-Yummy Avocado Dip

I think that these ingredients bring out the essence of the avocado. Of course it's great with fresh tortilla chips.

• fresh ripe avocado


• juicy lemon


• sea salt


• fresh cracked pepper


• canned diced mild green chili peppers

Chop, sprinkle, juice and mix to taste.
