Brandon's Famous Salsa

This is Brandon. I make a homemade salsa that people seem to really enjoy so I thought I'd post it. It's actually very easy to make and is delicious!

2 cans petite diced tomatoes

1 onion

1 can green chillies (mild)

1 bunch of cilantro

1 jalepeno

1 Lime

1 can black beans

1 can corn

1 chicken bouillon cube

There are probably a few ways you can make this, but here's the way I prepare it. First I get a big Tupperware container and put in the 2 cans of petite diced tomatoes. Next on the chopping board I'll cut up an onion. I usually get a really big onion and use about 1/2 of it. Chop it us and add it to the tomatoes. Then I'll add the entire can of diced green chillies. After this I will take the bunch of cilantro and chop it up finely and add it to this mixture. Cilantro usually comes in a bunch with a rubber band on the bottom holding it together. I'll use everything above the rubber band...I love cilantro!!!

Next I'll take the chicken bouillon cube and add it to 1 cup of boiling water and then put this in the blender, but before you mix it in the blender you need to squeeze the lime into it as well and also the jalapeno. Depending on how spicy I want the salsa, I'll use 1/2 to 1 jalapeno. I usually won't include the seeds because my wife says it's too hot. I put the jalapeno in the blender so it's all mixed in and you don't get a really peppery or hot bite. Once all of this is in the blender (water w/ bouillon, lime and jalapeno), mix it up for a few seconds and add it to the Tupperware bowl.

The final steps are the black beans and corn. I open up the cans and pour them into a strainer and wash them off. Once washed I'll usually add about 3/4 of this mixture to the Tupperware bowl and then mix everything together.

That's about it. The salsa tastes better, in my opinion, after it's been refrigerated for at least 1/2 hour.

Enjoy!
