can of black beans
chopped cilantro
splash of lime juice
white wine vinegar

I wish some of my kids would eat beans! I just bought plum tomatoes and cilantro today! I also add some salt.

How "homemade" do you want to get?

From scratch would include making your own tortillas first. Here's a good one for making whole wheat, but you can also make corn--get a bag of Masa Harina and the instructions will be on the bag:

Ingredients

* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 4 cups whole wheat bread flour
* 1/2 cup shortening
* 2 teaspoons salt
* 1 1/2 cups boiling water
* all-purpose flour for rolling

Directions

1. In a large bowl, stir together 1 cup all-purpose flour, the whole wheat flour, and salt. Rub in the shortening by hand until the mixture is the texture of oatmeal. Make a well in the center, and pour in the boiling water. Mix with a fork until all of the water is evenly incorporated. Sprinkle with a bit of additional flour, and knead until the dough does not stick to your fingers. The dough should be smooth.
2. Make balls the size of golf balls, about 2 ounces each. Place them on a tray, and cover with a cloth. Let stand for at least 1 hour, or up to 8 hours.
3. Heat a griddle or large frying pan over high heat. On a lightly floured surface, roll out a tortilla to your preferred thinness. Fry one at a time. Place on the griddle for 10 seconds, as soon as you see a bubble on the top, flip the tortilla over. Let it cook for about 30 seconds, then flip and cook the other side for another 30 seconds. Roll out the next tortilla while you wait for that one to cook. Repeat until all of the balls have been cooked. Tortillas can be refrigerated or frozen.


Mostly homemade is easy--take tortillas (corn or flour, homemade or store bought), cut them into wedges, toss with a little vegetable oil (put in ziploc bag, drizzle in oil, toss), spread out on a cookie sheet, season (salt for sure, lime and garlic if you like) and bake at 400 for 10 minutes or until crisp and golden, flipping once.

You can also deep fry them (@ 350 for 2-4 minutes), but baking is much easier and healthier.

How do you make homemade salsa and chips? Thanks

2 roma tomato
1 onion
1 clove garlic
2-3 jalapenos
handful of cilantro
salt, pepper
water

on a cast iron griddle roast the tomato, jalapenos, and onion until they are nice and charred.

cut the stems off the jalapenos and then in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. (Unless you like it really hot.)

put all the ingredients in a blender with just enough water to mix it all up. Add salt and pepper to taste.

You can also just boil all the ingredients and then blend it up, or dice it up fresh for pico de gallo. Good luck!

easy pico is tomatoes, onions, cilantro. Then just a little bit of jalapeno peppers, salt, and a splash of lime juice.

for chips, just cut a stack of tortillas into wedges, and fry at 350 for like a min, or until the bubbling stops. Sprinkle some sea salt on top and toss in a bowl. And spray some lime juice for a bit of flavor.

To make pico I dice Roma tomatoes, sweet onions, and cube an avocado. Put in a handful of chopped fresh cilantro and splash with lime juice. Salt and pepper to taste.

My mom used to fry her own chips and taco shells when I was a kid. She used to get her tortillas fresh from a tortilla "factory" in the Mexican area of Detroit. She used a cast iron skillet with about an inch of oil. Tacos you put in, turn over and bend in half with two forks. Chips were just whole corn tortillas cut into wedges. These are nothing like the preshaped ones you get in a box. They would usually separate and puff up. Tacos were difficult to eat-one bite and they were so crisp they would fall apart. I miss her and her tacos.

Baking doesn't even come close to the taste from fried corn tortillas.

I dice tomato, purple onion, and jalapeno, the add some vinegar (not too much, don't want it to be too liquidy) and a tiny bit of sugar (just to cut the vinegar a little)--taste throughout to make sure its to your taste. Let sit and flavors blend. This process was on a site about cooking from your garden.

For chips, I cut corn tortillas into 4 triangles, lay out on a cookie sheet and spray both sides with cooking spray (olive oil or plain) or brush with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and bake at 450 until crisp.

We also do these chips using butter flavored spray and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

Mine is more of a pico too: Sorry no measurements.

roma tomatoes
white onion (not yellow)
cilantro
jalapeno
lime juice
salt

I also let mine sit at room temperature for awhile and it's just ooooh so good

 

[Luv Bunnies]

I just pour the jar of salsa and bag of chips into bowls and pretend they're homemade!

Chips:

Cut corn tortillas into triangles with scissors, spray with olive oil and bake on a cookie sheet at 350 until crisp.

Salsa:

(allergic to tomatoes and peppers)

Dice two or three peaches, and some purple onion, toss with lime juice, garlic, salt and pepper.

I buy tostitos but can make my own salsa. it's actually quite easy and you can vary it to taste. I've even put mine in a blender and made it more "runny" then chunky. Basically I just use the following

tomato
white or red onion
garlic
salt
jalapeno
lime juice
tomatillo
Now the last 3 are optional and I use very little salt. Just chop it all up and mix it together, you can use a masher to press it and make it more liquidy or you can run thru a processer, or just eat it chunky. Everyone loves it, or they lie and tell me it's good. LOL

Also tasty and easy, use canned diced tomatoes. Add to taste any of the other ingredients other posters have mentioned (that you like) and serve it chunky or blended.

Caution; if you add jalapenos and refrigerate the salsa overnight before serving, it does become more spicy.
