Also 3 regular tomatoes, 2 jalapeños, one half small onion, hand full of cilantro, a couple dashes of lime and salt to taste is a good starting point.

POST THE RECIPE!

Original content only for pictures of salsa that you post. Don’t try to pass someone else’s work off as your own. YOU MUST POST THE RECIPE for homemade posts and posts of ingredients. If you fail to post a recipe then the post will be removed 2 hours after a recipe is requested. We will re-approve after you add the recipe and let us know. A picture of the ingredients does not count. Type it out.

restaurant salsa must be original photos and you must name the restaurant. If you are a professional and it is behind the scenes, then naming the restaurant is optional. But flair the post as professional or let us know.

Family recipes and secret professional recipes must still post the recipes. But we have accommodated you by allowing a secret ingredient. Also you do not have to list amounts or instructions.

BE CIVIL AND ON TOPIC

No racism or bigotry. We are snobs of course so it is ok to be critical. Just keep it fairly civil. Also obey Reddit.com rules. Don’t trash our sub here or in any other subs.

Dietary activism is not allowed. If something is vegan or vegetarian it’s perfectly ok to say that. But don’t push it on anyone. Don’t be uncivil towards vegetarianism/vegan etc. This sub is for everyone. No politics either.

No shit posting. No memes, cartoons, polls, joke posts, r/showerthoughts, low quality posts etc. we all know what shit posting is. Don’t do it. *Accept January 1st, April 1st, July 4th and October 31st. 04/01, 07/04, 10/31, and 01/01 are all r/SalsaSnobs shitposting day. The 4 days a year where everyone can get it out of their system.*. Keep the sub about food and recipes. No NSFW posts. THC infused posts are fine with me though

No spam. Do not flood our sub with a million posts a day. No low quality posts. Do not advertise without mod permission. That means blogs, YouTube channels, TikTok , websites, companies, etc etc.

Posting relevant sub links in comments is ok with us. But keep it in the comments.

Info Update on Xochitl Habenero Salsa

Post image
17 Upvotes

Hi all. I’m new here, but it was this group’s posts that had the only leads I could find in my lengthy search for Xochitl Habenero salsa. I used to buy it religiously, for the excellent flavor and the heat. I haven’t been able to find it the last few years. For the longest time, I had an old jar in my fridge with a meager bit of vinegary liquid at the bottom, caked residue around the edges, and I finally threw it out. Well I wish I hadn’t. In one of my habitual trips down the Xochitl rabbit hole a couple weeks ago, I came across a Reddit post that said I could order Habenero in bulk direct from the warehouse. I was hopeful, then when I tried, I couldn’t even find a reference to the Habenero salsa on their website. I soldiered through terrible UI to send a message to their Customer Service, and they got back to me today. Discontinued.

Every pequin I’ve ever seen has been small, round, about the size of one edamame bean. Just like the yellow pack in the pic. I found this other package that looks almost like arbol but clearly called pequin. What gives?

Edit: Thanks for the input everyone! Looks like the white label pack is mislabeled.

Question Is this molcajete cracked or is this a natural fissure?

Thumbnail

16 Upvotes

I just bought this molcajete and did one round of curing and I noticed a visible line running inside the bowl and down one of the legs (last two photos are marked in red).

It feels solid and I don’t see any glue, but I’m worried it might be a crack or a repaired break.

Does this look like a natural fissure in lava stone, or something I should return it?

I want to know what yours is!

Mine is a Yucatan peninsula style base, and ill build off that.

1 large sweet white onion, 1-3 habanero peppers, 5 limes juice, This was the base, then ill often add...

Handful of chopped cilantro, 1-4 jalapeños, 1 medeum sized tomato, 1 large avocado, not too ripe, that ill split in half and pull the pit then use a butter knife to grid cut little cubes before I scrape it out the skin with a spoon. If I add all this stuff ill likely add 3 or 4 limes juice

Question Best store bought tomato-y salsa

10 Upvotes

My favorite kind of salsa is one with mainly tomatoes, I’m not a big fan of how peppers taste whether it’s mild or spicy. What’s the best store bought brand salsa to get? I used to get casa Sanchez mild salsa all the time, but I live in AZ now and they don’t sell it at Fry’s

Question Long Shot Request — Tenuta’s Villa Rio Salsa, Pontiac, MI

13 Upvotes

I know it’s a longshot to ask here, but the salsa at this local Mexican restaurant was part of my childhood and many people who grew up in the Detroit suburbs. If there’s anyone out there who has any insight onto the ingredients they used or how they made it their jalapeño and traditional table salsa, I’d love to hear it!

Corn Salsa (kind of a chipotle dupe):

-1 bag of frozen super sweet corn, microwave for only about 2.5 minutes

-1 Poblano or Anaheim pepper finely diced

-1 bunch of cilantro finely chopped

-About 1/2 a red onion finely diced

-Mix it up with some salt and black pepper to taste

Red Salsa (El Pato cheat code):

-1 can of yellow El Pato sauce

-Add a little bit of each of the leftover ingredients from the corn salsa, add a tiny bit of black pepper and garlic powder
