3 Levels of Salsa

Here are 3 levels of salsas.

Level 1: Store-Bought Salsa
Salsa from a jar tastes exactly like you'd expect. It'll do in a pinch, but we can do better. 

Level 2: Homemade Salsa Verde
Fresh green tomatillos, fresh jalapeños, avocado, cilantro, lime juice, and salt. Put into a food processor, pulse a few times, and finish off with some fresh red onion and more lime juice. 

Maria approved, but we can still do better. 

Level 3: The Ultimate Homemade Salsa
Add tomatillos, white onion, chili pasilla, chile peron, and garlic to pan or grill and get them nice and charred. 

The right equipment can make a big difference, so we are using a traditional molcajete to grind up our roasted veggies and spices. 

Finish with a squeeze of lime juice and eat with fresh tortilla chips for the best d@mn snack you've ever had. 

This one is definitely Maria approved.
