Hello everyone, my name is Elias. I'm the head chef of Vallecanta and today I'm going to show you how to make two salsas.
00:05
Tomato salsa for your tacos and avocado salsa for your tacos.
00:09
So to start a pico de gallo, we're just going to start getting the tomatoes.
00:15
We're just going to cut them in small dices.
00:18
And we're just going to place it in the bowl.
00:26
After that, we're going to cut the onions, same, in small dices.
00:31
I'm just going to take out the skin.
00:35
After that, we're going to cut the chilies. If you want it to be spicy, add the seeds.
00:48
If you don't want it to be spicy, remove the seeds.
00:50
I personally like it spicy, so I'm just going to keep the seeds on.
00:56
We're going to finish it with some lime. Just squish it on top. And some salt.
01:13
Then we're just going to mix it.
01:15
So this is a really simple salsa. If you're into coriander, I will add some.
01:20
It's probably one of my favorite herbs, to be honest.
01:24
It's going to add a lot of flavor to it.
01:26
You can use this salsa for tacos, you can use this salsa to mix it with scrambled eggs in the morning.
01:33
It's a really common thing to do in Mexico. We'll call it huevos rancheros.
01:38
So just add the coriander and mix it again.
01:43
Super simple, refreshing for the summer in a nice barbecue outside.
01:49
And that's it for your pico de gallo.
01:53
We're going to start now with the salsa verde.
01:55
We're going to need tomatillos.
01:57
Tomatillos are like a green tomato from Mexico, but you can find these ones anywhere in any market in the summer.
02:04
So we're going to start mixing tomatillos.
02:07
You're going to get a small piece of onion.
02:11
We're going to blend everything.
02:13
This kind of salsa you can find it all around in Mexico in the taquerias. It's super common.
02:19
We're going to add a serrano chili. Like I said, you can put the seeds or you can not put the seeds.
02:23
It depends on how spicy you want it.
02:25
After that, we're going to add some coriander to it.
02:28
Just to give it a nice flavor.
02:31
And we're going to add an avocado too.
02:35
So the way I like to cut avocados, I hold it with my hand and just go around.
02:39
Just be careful.
02:42
You open it, you take out the seed.
02:45
Just with the tip of your knife.
02:48
That's it.
02:49
You're going to grab a spoon.
02:50
You're going to grab the blender.
02:51
You're just going to blend everything together.
02:56
You're going to add all this.
03:06
A little bit of lime juice, just to give a little acidity to this.
03:12
And help the blender to blend everything.
03:16
And of course, a little salt.
03:18
So now we're just going to blend everything together.
03:24
And this will be a nice salsa for any kind of tacos that you want to make at home.
03:40
This will be your salsa verde for your tacos.
03:43
So here are the two kinds of salsas.
03:45
The pico de gallo that is more refreshing for like a summer.
03:48
If you made it, it can last you for about two to three days in the fridge.
03:52
And your salsa verde, it contains avocados, so it might last you for like a day in the fridge.
03:57
So I will make it in the morning, and if you have your barbecue, use it in the afternoon.
04:01
Those salsas are the most common salsa that you can make at home.
04:06
And if you have your barbecue, use it in the afternoon.
04:08
Those salsas are the most common salsas in Mexico.
04:11
If you go to Mexico, just be careful.
04:13
The green ones tend to be the most spicy ones in every taco area.
