Steps:
- Heat a large skillet to medium high heat. Place tomatoes and peppers in the skillet.
- Continue to saute, rotating the vegetables occasionally, so several sides begin to blister. See photos above. This will take around 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Once cooled, chop off the stems of the peppers, and remove the seeds from the jalapeño (you can also keep some seeds for more heat in your salsa). Cut the vegetables into large pieces.
- Place tomatoes, peppers, onions, lime, and canned tomatoes into a blender and pulse quickly until just mixed (about 5 seconds). Add garlic, cilantro, and bouillon. Pulse for another 15 seconds until well blended but chunky.
- Place in a large bowl and refrigerate until cooled before serving. Serve with your favorite Mexican dish or with chips.

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN STYLE TABLE SALSA
This is an authentic mexican style table salsa. I have spent years perfecting this to achieve the taste of the salsas I had while in Mexico. It's a smooth table salsa which is typical of authentic mexican table salsa. You can make it as mild or hot as you like by adding or reducing the amount of chiltepines or chile pequins. Enjoy!

Steps:
- In medium saucepan add onion, tomatillo and serrano and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and boil until tomatillo is soft and changes color to a more yellow color (about 10 minutes). While these are boiling, add a few tablespoons of oil to a small saute pan over medium heat. Add the chiltepins and chile pequins for about 10 seconds and remove to drain on a paper towel. Let cool completely. When vegetables are done boiling remove from water and let cool completely. Add everything into a blender and process until smooth.
- Notes - I use 12 chile pequins and 10 chiltepins but I like my salsa pretty hot. Sometimes I will just use my deep fat fryer to toast the chiles instead of using the saute pan.
- If you like your salsa more chunky, reserve half of the tomatoes and the onion, dice and stir in at the end.
Tips:
- Use ripe, fresh tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your salsa will be. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and free of blemishes.
- Roast your tomatoes: Roasting the tomatoes intensifies their flavor and gives the salsa a smoky depth of flavor. You can roast the tomatoes in the oven or on the grill.
- Use a variety of chilies: Different chilies have different heat levels and flavors. Experiment with different chilies to create a salsa that is as spicy or mild as you like.
- Don't over-process the salsa: A chunky salsa has more flavor and texture than a smooth salsa. Pulse the ingredients in a food processor or blender just until they are combined.
- Season the salsa to taste: Add salt, lime juice, and cilantro to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as cumin, chili powder, or garlic powder.
Conclusion:
This authentic Mexican-style table salsa is the perfect condiment for any Mexican dish. It is also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. With its fresh, flavorful ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this salsa is sure to become a family favorite.
