El Capitan’s Roasted Salsa

I plan on giving you a recipe on Saturday for Fire Grilled Fajitas. Today and tomorrow I thought I would give you recipes for fixin’s that go with it.

Fire the grill and get it up to 350.

Wash 4 medium size ripened tomatoes and 3-5 jalapenos depending on how hot you want the salsa (remember we are not sure how hot the jalapenos are so adding them gradually is the best policy).

Once the grill is up to temp put the tomatoes and jalapenos on the grill. Rotate the vegetables as they cook (we want to roast the vegetables to a brown and puffed state so that the skin appears ready to peel).

While the vegetables roast peel 3 garlic cloves and get the blender ready.

Once the roasting in done add the vegetables to the blender including the garlic. Use the ice crush button on the blender to blend the salsa (this will give the salsa a great texture). After blending add salt to taste.

Eat it up with corn chips from the store or here is a great way to bake your own!

Preheat oven to 350.

Take 6 corn tortillas spray with olive oil Pam and sprinkle with season salt. Place in oven and bake for 7 minutes, flip the tortillas over and bake for 3minutes. The tortillas should look slightly brown and feel crisp, if not continue baking until they reach this state.

Once baked remove from oven and let cool. Break tortillas into quarters and place in serving bowl.

Remember don’t eat all the salsa so you can enjoy it with fajitas! Stay hungry my friends!
