00:00Hello everyone, my name is Elias, I'm the head chef of Villacanta, and today I'm going

00:03to show you how to make two salsas, tomato salsa for your tacos and avocado salsa for

00:08your tacos.

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

00:16going to cut them in small dices, and we're just going to place it in the bowl.

00:26After that, we're going to cut the onions, same, in small dices, I'm just going to take

00:34out the skin, after that we're going to cut the chilies, if you want it to be spicy, add

00:47the 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.

00:58We're going to finish it with some lime, just squish it on top, and some salt.

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

01:15So this is a really simple salsa, if you're into coriander, I will add some, it's probably

01:21one of my favorite herbs, to be honest, it'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

01:33the morning, it's a really common thing to do in Mexico, we'll call it huevo rancheros.

01:38So, 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, we're going to need tomatillos, tomatillos are

01:59like a green tomato from Mexico, you can find these ones anywhere in any market in the summer.

02:05So, we're going to start mixing tomatillos, you'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 taqueria, it's super common.

02:19We're going to add a serrano chile, like I said, you can put the seeds, or you cannot

02:22put the seeds, it depends how spicy you want it.

02:25After that, we're going to add some coriander to it, just 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 a hand and just go around, just be

02:41careful.

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

02:48I'm going to grab a spoon, I'm going to grab the blender, I'm just going to blend everything

02:56together.

03:03I'm going to add all this, a little of lime juice, just to give a little acidity to this,

03:13and help the blender to blend everything.

03:22And of course, a little salt.

03:28So now we're just going to blend everything together.

03:39And this will be nice salsa for any kind of tacos that you want to make at home.

03:45This will be your salsa verde for your tacos.

03:51So you have the two kinds of salsas.

03:53The pico de gallo that is more refreshing for like a summer.

03:56If 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

04:03fridge.

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 talsas in Mexico.

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

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