These Mexican Salsas will brighten your table and are sure to take your tacos to a whole new level!
Welcome to my Mexican Fiesta! In the upcoming weeks, I will be sharing some of my favorite Mexican dishes, starting with these wonderful salsas. These salsas are wonderful when served separately and even better when served as a trio. They are the perfect complement to any Mexican dinner party and pair beautifully for my upcoming recipe, Shrimp Tacos. They are my own creations, but each is based on traditional Mexican flavors and regional ingredients.
As a global blogger, I have created and collected recipes from a variety of cuisines including Mexico. I often make tacos and fajitas because they are healthy, delicious, and easy to prepare. In Mexico, the chefs tend to prepare tacos and fajitas with simple fresh ingredients. They rely on sauces and salsas to enhance the flavor of those dises and these salsas really make them special.
Whether you’re planning a Mexican themed party, or just looking to spruce up Friday night dinner, you will love these Mexican Salsas. Prepare them in advance so that you can simply relax and share a margarita with family or friends when they arrive.
I hope you enjoy these Mexican Salsas and look out for my Shrimp Tacos recipe coming up next week. Believe me, you won’t want to miss them!
Have a great week and thanks for your support!
Mexican Salsas
Ingredients
- TOMATO SALSA
- 1 can 28 ounces whole peeled tomatoes without basil drained
- 1/4 medium sized sweet yellow onion chopped
- 1 lime juiced
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
- salt to taste approximately 1/2 tsp
- 1 jalapeno pepper chopped head and bottom removed
- MANGO SALSA
- 2 fresh ripe mangoes peeled, and diced into little cubes
- 1 lime juiced
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped red onion
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped cilantro
- 1 jalapeno finely chopped
Instructions
- TOMATO SALSA
- Place the whole tomatoes inside a blender or food processor and blend for only a few seconds until tomatoes are chunky. It's best to use the pulse bottom so you don't over blend. Transfer half of the chopped tomatoes to a bowl and add the onion to the remaining half inside the blender. Pulse it a few times until the desirable consistency. Add the lime juice, cilantro, salt and jalapeño and pulse it for a few seconds. Transfer the tomato mixture to the reserved remaining tomato chunks. Combine them together. Taste the salsa. Add more salt or lime juice if needed.
- Enjoy!
