1/4 cup diced red bell pepper

  • 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.

  • Drain the taquitos on paper towels and salt. Remove the toothpicks before serving.

CRANBERRY SALSA (CANNED)



Cranberry Salsa (Canned) image

I love salsa and am always experimenting with combinations of veggies and fruits. Fresh salsa is great but it is also nice to be able to can all that fresh goodness from the garden to eat in the dead of winter. Being from Wisconsin, I just had to come up with a recipe using cranberries and this is what I came up with. I use a mixture of hot peppers and seed some but not all of them since I like things hot. I also measure the cranberries, then give them a rough chop in my food processor before adding them. I think I will add some fresh lime juice to my next batch for a little flavor boost.
