Steps:
- Place all of the ingredients in a food processor (EXCEPT CREAM CHEESE) and pulse until desired consistency. I like mine fairly fine. Chill in the fridge for a couple of hours (preferably overnight) to allow the salsa to macerate. Serve over cream cheese and with crackers.
- This makes enough to cover two blocks of cream cheese. Some people prefer to spread the cream cheese on a serving dish with the salsa on top. I prefer to just pour it on top of a block of cream cheese.
- Depending on how tart your cranberries are you may want to add more sugar. This last batch I added a total of 1 cup of sugar.

CRANBERRY SAUCE SALSA
Don't toss that little bit of cranberry sauce leftover from Thanksgiving dinner. This recipe, which we developed for a special kids' edition of The New York Times, calls for making it into a savory-sweet salsa that everyone will love. Just add some chopped fresh tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro and jalapeño to prepared whole cranberry sauce (not the jellied stuff). Stir in some lime zest and juice, and a sprinkling of chile powder, cumin and cayenne. Serve with enchilada pie or tortilla chips, and consider stocking canned cranberry sauce in your cabinet all year long.

Steps:

- Warm the tortillas in the microwave for 10 seconds so they are pliable.
- Fill the tortillas with a tablespoon of filling and roll into a thin taquito, securing with a toothpick. Keep the taquitos covered with a damp towel before cooking otherwise the corn tortillas will dry out and crack. Heat 2 cups oil in a straight-sided pan to 350 degrees F. Place the taquitos in the hot oil in batches and shallow fry until crisp, rolling to cook all sides, about 3 minutes.
- Drain the taquitos on paper towels and salt. Remove the toothpicks before serving.

Tips:
- Choose ripe and firm cranberries: Fresh cranberries are available in the fall and winter months. Look for cranberries that are plump, firm, and have a deep red color. Avoid cranberries that are soft, bruised, or have any signs of mold.
- Use a sharp knife to dice the onion: A sharp knife will help you get a clean, even dice on the onion. If you don't have a sharp knife, you can also use a food processor to chop the onion.
- Don't overcook the onion: The onion should be cooked until it is softened and translucent, but not browned. If you overcook the onion, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
- Use fresh cilantro: Fresh cilantro adds a bright, citrusy flavor to the salsa. If you don't have fresh cilantro, you can substitute dried cilantro, but it won't have the same flavor.
- Serve the salsa immediately: Cranberry onion salsa is best served fresh. It will keep for a few days in the refrigerator, but the flavors will start to fade after a few days.
Conclusion:
Cranberry onion salsa is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used to add flavor to a variety of dishes. It is perfect for topping tacos, burritos, enchiladas, and other Mexican dishes. It can also be used as a dip for chips, vegetables, or crackers. The salsa is also a good source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, potassium, and fiber.
