Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone! So far I have celebrated by not being able to sleep, waking up at 5 AM and making BREAKFAST TACOS! At least the last part of that sentence was fun. We are probably going to keep it easy and order burritos from one of our favorite local restaurants tonight \u2013 but if you are looking to make something delicious to go with your dinner of margaritas & chips<\/s> tacos and enchiladas \u2013 look no further!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mary was my mom\u2019s co-worker for many years. I often ate this salsa with saltines sitting in the kitchen of her office doing my homework after school. The nice thing about this recipe is it is super flexible. My brother and I once mistakingly used every onion in the fridge (including the green onions my mom was saving for that night\u2019s dinner) and it was still just as delicious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The base recipe makes a pretty mild salsa. Some family favorite ways to amp up the heat are to (1) Replace the plain tomato juice with Spicy V8 (2) Including spicy pepper like jalape\u00f1os or poblanos or (3) Increase the hot sauce\/salsa ratio.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also \u2013 growing up we used to chop all the vegetables by hand. Now I use my food processor and it\u2019s much quicker. If you like a chunkier salsa, hand chopped may be the way to go \u2013 I find I can easily get carried away when pulsing the veg. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the photo below we are enjoying our salsa with some chicken nachos and home made pickled jalape\u00f1os from the\u00a0Magnolia Table cookbook<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
