Garden Salsa / Burrito Filling

Collection of sweet and hot peppers, cut into rough dices including seeds and webs

Equal or slightly short volume / amount of Roma tomatoes, diced.

White onion diced – a quarter fraction or less of the combined above volume. (Yellow onion is sweeter and less present as a flavor if preferred…)

Crush the ingredients in a bowl with a spoon or pestle, or pulse / combine in a blender / food processor. (Blending down into a sauce isn’t crazy.)

---

Add dashes / small amounts to taste. Balance for use:

Sea salt

Cumin

Chili powder (cayenne)

Lime & Lemon juice (we use Meyer lemons if they’re ready on our tree. Sweeter.)

Garlic, crushed finely

---

Fresh Cilantro, chopped

Slivers of green onion, teeny amount of crushed mint

Red Turmeric – deepens color

Red pepper flakes (if cooking as a sauce will follow, to correct spice levels – add black beans, heat through and immediately spoon over rice.) 2nd day – Goes great with chicken or pork. Add an avocado garnish and some sour cream. Burritos with lettuce or Arugula.

Variations

Different tomatoes (watch juice levels)

Different onions / aromatics…

Fresh horse radish

Fallow seasons and closed building were intended to kill various pests (insects and plants.)

Like: maybe use something a little less industrial than the hedge trimmer to control the growth?
