Jesus’ Basic Red Salsa Recipe

Tomatoes
Green Onions
Red Chile Powder
Garlic Powder
Salt

Preparation: 

  1. Chop up tomatoes and green onions and add to a pan with just a splash of water (enough to cover you tomatoes and onions.)
  2. Add red chile powder, garlic powder, and salt and bring to a boil.
  3. Simmer until tomatoes and onions just begin to break down.
  4. Eat as is (hot and chunky) or chill and blend for a smoother, cold salsa.
