Tortilla Salsa Recipes

Steps:

• To make the tortillas, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Brush both sides of the tortillas with the oil, then cut into triangles with scissors. Arrange in a single layer on 1 or 2 baking sheets and bake for 7-8 mins. Remove, sprinkle with salt and set aside.
• To make the guacamole, halve and stone the avocados, then spoon the flesh into a bowl. Pour over the lime juice and a sprinkle of salt, then crush with a potato masher until puréed but still chunky. Add onion, coriander, chillies and chipotle paste. Stir through and set aside until needed.
• For the salsa, place the tomatoes, cut-side up, in a shallow baking tray. Season, and place under the grill until blackened, about 15 mins. Meanwhile, in a dry non-stick frying pan, blacken the chillies and garlic. Keep turning to darken on all sides, about 10 mins. When done, peel the garlic and place in a food processor. Place the chillies in a plastic bag to steam for a few mins, then peel, deseed and stem. Add the flesh to the food processor along with the tomatoes, onion, coriander, lime juice and chipotle paste. Season and pulse until chunky.

Steps:

• Add all salsa ingredients to a bowl and toss.
• For the chips:
• Preheat peanut oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F.
• Mix the salt and chipotle powder together in a small bowl.
• Arrange the corn tortillas in a stack and cut into 6 equal wedges. Drop into the oil, in batches, and fry until crisp and golden. Remove from the fryer to a paper towel lined sheet tray. Sprinkle the chips immediately with the seasoned salt and serve with the salsa.

Steps:

• Add all ingredients and mix in a large bowl. Refridgerate for about an hour before serving.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot and saute the onion until soft. Add the Basic Chicken Stock, garlic, bay leaf, oregano, peppercorns, and chiltepin and simmer for 1 hour.
• While the soup is simmering, fill a deep saucepan with corn oil to a depth of 2 inches and heat to 375 degrees F. (If you don't have an oil thermometer, heat the oil until a piece of tortilla dropped in the oil sizzles immediately, but don't let the oil start smoking.) Fry the tortillas strips until golden brown and crisp. Drain strips on paper towels. Alternative method: If you prefer not to deep-fry, brush the tortillas lightly with oil before cutting them into strips, and bake on a cookie sheet in a preheated 350 degree F oven until dry and crisp.
• When the soup has simmered 1 hour, puree 1 1/2 cups of the Salsa Fresca and add it to the soup. Remove from the heat. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
• Divide the fried tortilla strips into 6 wide soup bowls. Add 2 or 3 slices of avocado, a lime wedge, and some grated cheese to each bowl. Pour in the hot broth, add a dollop of salsa, and serve immediately, with the additional lime wedges on the side.
• Put all the ingredients in a large pot and add water to cover. Bring to a boil, skimming off the foam that comes to the surface. Reduce the heat and simmer, skimming occasionally, for 2 hours. Strain and discard the bones and vegetables. You may wish to refrigerate the broth and skim off fat before using in a recipe, or freezing.
• Mix all the ingredients together. For best results, let salsa stand at least half an hour before serving or incorporating into recipe. Use within 24 hours. (The Vinaigrette calls for 1 cup. Enjoy the remaining 2 cups in Tortilla Soup or just with chips.)

Steps:

• For the roasted salsa: Position a rack on the top of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of the olive oil, the tomatoes, garlic, jalapeno, onions and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place the vegetables on a baking sheet and roast until soft, 20 to 25 minutes. Add the roasted vegetables to a food processor with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the cilantro, vinegar, sugar and lime juice. Pulse until chunky. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Meanwhile, for the lime tortilla chips: Place the chips on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake, about 5 minutes. Drizzle with the lime zest, lime juice and toss. Serve with the roasted salsa.

Steps:

• Combine the flour, vegetable oil and salt in a bowl. Pour over 150ml warm water and knead to bring the mixture together. Remove from the bowl and knead on a lightly floured work surface for around 5 mins until you make a soft, smooth ball of dough. Cover with a clean tea towel and rest for at least 15 mins before rolling out.
• Cut the dough into 6 equal pieces (about 75g each). Roll out each ball of dough as thinly as possible on a floured work surface. They should make rounds about 20 cm wide, 2mm thick.
• Heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Cook the tortillas for 1-2 mins on each side until golden brown and toasted. Wrap them in foil and cover in a tea towel to keep warm, while you cook the rest. Keeps for two days well wrapped, or cool, wrap and freeze for up to three months.

Steps:

• In a large pot saute the onion and garlic in some olive oil for about 5 minutes.
• Pour in the chicken, stock, tomatoes, cilantro, salsa verde, beans, and corn. Add salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Cover, turn down heat, and simmer for 20 minutes.
• To serve: Pour the soup on top of crumbled tortilla chips. Add avocado and cheese.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Brown meat in skillet. Stir in 1/2 cup of the salsa and the seasoning mix.
• Place tortilla chips in 13x9-inch baking dish. Cover with layers of half each of the meat mixture, tomatoes and cheese; repeat layers.
• Bake 8 min. or until cheese is melted. Top with the guacamole, sour cream and remaining 1/2 cup salsa.

Steps:

• Put flour, salt, and baking powder into a mixing bowl.
• Mix the shortening or oil into the flour mixture until it forms pea-size balls.
• Add the lukewarm water, a little at a time, until the dough is soft and pliable.
• On a floured surface, knead the dough until smooth, for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Place in a bowl, cover with a clean dish towel, and let it"rest" for 30 minutes.
• Knead dough and form 8 to 10 balls.
• Roll them out as thin and round as possible.
• Preheat an ungreased griddle or cast-iron frying pan.
• Cook tortillas on griddle one at a time, flipping when a bubble forms (less than a minute).
• Put cooked tortillas in a plastic bag until ready to serve, to keep them warm and soft.

Steps:

• Tip the tomatoes into a pan and stir in the onion, ½ the chilli and the smoked paprika. Cook over a low heat for 10 mins. Tip ¾ into a bowl, then stir in 2 tbsp of the coriander and the olives and lemon juice.
• Meanwhile, heat the grill. Tip the beans into a bowl and stir in the remaining chilli, the garlic, cumin and coriander. Beat in the eggs, then add the reserved ¼ of the salsa and the remaining fresh coriander with a little salt to taste. Blitz a little using a hand blender or mash some of the beans with a potato masher.
• Heat a 24cm non-stick pan with the oil. Pour in the bean mixture and leave to cook gently for 5-7 mins until the base is set, then grill for 5 mins. Tip out and cut into 4 wedges. If you're following our Healthy Diet Plan, serve two wedges with half of the remaining salsa and the rocket. Chill the rest for the following day.

Steps:

• Make salsa:
• Purée tomatillos, chiles, onion, garlic, salt, and water in a blender until smooth.
• Heat oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then carefully add tomatillo purée (oil will splatter) and simmer, stirring, until thickened, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in cilantro and simmer 1 minute. Transfer to a small bowl.
• Make chalupas:
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 200°F.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in cleaned dried skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then briefly cook tortillas, 3 at a time, until softened and hot but still pale, about 10 seconds per side, adding more oil if necessary. Transfer tortillas with tongs to paper towels to drain briefly, then to a large shallow baking pan in oven to keep warm, arranging tortillas in one layer (overlapping slightly if necessary) and covering pan with foil.
• Spread each warm tortilla with about 1 teaspoon salsa, then top sparingly with a few shreds of chicken. Thin crema with a little water and drizzle over chicken, then sprinkle with onion and cheese. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine salsa, mayonnaise, and sour cream in a small bowl.
• Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
