00:00Hello everyone, my name is Elias. I'm the head chef of Ayacanta and today I'm going to show you how to make two salsas.

00:05Tomato salsa for your tacos and avocado salsa for your tacos.

00:11So to start a pico de gallo, we're just going to start getting the tomatoes.

00:15We're just going to cut them in small dices.

00:23And we're just going to place it in the bowl.

00:26After that, we're going to cut the onions, same, in small dices.

00:34I'm just going to take out the skin.

00:44After that, we're going to cut the chilies.

00:46If you want it to be spicy, add the seeds. If you don't want it to be spicy, remove the seeds.

00:51I personally like it spicy, so I'm just going to keep the seeds on.

01:06We're going to finish it with some lime.

01:10Just squish on top.

01:12And some salt.

01:14Then we're just going to mix it.

01:15So this is a really simple salsa.

01:17If you're into coriander, I will add some.

01:20It's probably one of my favorite herbs, to be honest.

01:24It's going to add a lot of flavor to it.

01:26You can use this salsa for tacos, you can use this salsa to mix it with scrambled eggs in the morning.

01:33It's a really common thing to do in Mexico.

01:36We'll call it huevos rancheros.

01:39So just add the coriander and mix it again.

01:44Super simple, refreshing for the summer in a nice barbecue outside.

01:51And that's it for your pico de gallo.

01:53We're going to start now with the salsa verde.

01:56We're going to need tomatillos.

01:58Tomatillos are like a green tomato from Mexico, but you can find these ones anywhere in any market in the summer.

02:05So we're going to start mixing tomatillos.

02:09You're going to get a small piece of onion.

02:12We're going to blend everything.

02:14This kind of salsa, you can find it all around in Mexico in the taquerias.

02:18It's super common.

02:19We're going to add a serrano chili.

02:20Like I said, you can put the seeds or you can not put the seeds.

02:23It depends on how spicy you want it.

02:26After that, we're going to add some coriander to it.

02:30Just to give it a nice flavor.

02:32And we're going to add an avocado too.

02:36So the way I like to cut avocados, I hold it with my hand and just go around.

02:41Just be careful.

02:43You open it, you take out the seed just with the tip of your knife.

02:48That's it.

02:49I'm going to grab a spoon.

02:50I'm going to grab the blender.

02:54I'm just going to blend everything together.

03:05I'm going to add all this.

03:07A little bit of lime juice, just to give a little acidity to this.

03:12And help the blender to blend everything.

03:21And of course, a little salt.

03:27So now we're just going to blend everything together.

03:37And this will be a nice salsa for any kind of tacos that you want to make at home.

03:47This will be your salsa verde for your tacos.

03:50So you have the two kinds of salsas.

03:52The pico de gallo that is more refreshing for like a summer.

03:55If you made it, it can last you for about two to three days in the fridge.

03:59And your salsa verde, it contains avocados, so it might last you for like a day in the fridge.

04:04So I will make it in the morning, and if you have your barbecue, use it in the afternoon.

04:08Those salsas are the most common salsas in Mexico.

04:11If you go to Mexico, just be careful.

04:13The green one tends to be the most spicy one in every taco area.
