How to Make Salsa Roja: My Three Favorite Homemade Recipes

[@francellew2073]

Oh boy, his attitude made my day. I am Mexican and yet I wanted to find a different way to cook my salsa today. Good tips.

[@ladyizzabella]

There's a mexican restaurant chain in south Louisiana started by a woman from Tampico, Mexico, and their salsa is the most amazing salsa I've ever had. We now live 300 miles away, and I've wanted to try to make a salsa like theirs for 5 years now. I tried your fresh kitchen salsa recipe with a onion added and Jalapeños instead of seranos, kept hot in the slow cooker. It was gone in less than an hour. Thank you thank you thank you. You've made a Cajun family very happy. I will now have a whole pot of salsa going every day. 😅

[@dp2120]

What’s the restaurant called?

[@1981infinite]

Roasted salsa is one of my favorites.. Got any recipes like that?? These look great!

[@ArnieTex]

Those are coming soon, yes

[@Tyromezz]

Made the kitchen salsa for my family today (first time making home made salsa). Turned out great and everyone loved it. Super easy to make. Thank you!

[@coolmt8996]

So glad i found this channel! We're one state over to the east and cant wait to try the salsa!

[@AlEtteso]

As soon as I start this video, my mouth starts watering.

[@courtbaker4497]

Just made the deer camp salsa, 3 large Roma tomatoes, 2 cloves of garlic, 1 jalapeño, some cilantro and about 3 tsp of salt-pepper-garlic mix. It’s great! I’m gonna be making the kitchen salsa here in a few minutes

[@ArnieTex]

Glad your trying these.

[@joeybagodonuts1008]

would like to see you make the pico de gallo you use on the videos with the recipe, thanks!

[@sade62397]

Ok! Watched my 3rd video and I’m sold!! Subscribed! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@ArnieTex]

Thanks for subbing

[@1oldvato782]

Hey Alex loved the recipes especially the deer camp recipe. So I just got that grater & bowl combo it's going to be handy in my car kitchen on those fishing & camping trips. Nothing like homemade road salsa. Thanks Alex from this Oldvato in Cali.

[@BigPapaPos]

Like your video and your personality from central coast CA

[@larrymoore6496]

Excellent Salsas Arnie ! We got a new food processor & the skies the limit with the 2nd one ( our fav). And taking a tip from one of your other fans about trading out the red tomatoes with green tomatillos was brilliant ! Thanks again for sharing your expertise in the South Texas Tex-Mex, it’s great !

[@PatrikC325]

Thanks Arnie for your recipes! We have made the salsa, Rice a Carne Guisada! All have come out great.

[@ArnieTex]

Thank you, we love what we do and sharing it with others.

Instant subscriber after the finger cut scene 😂

[@jorgesoria6248]

I liked the boiled salsa !!!

[@missyjonze]

I have the same grater as you do, lol! Mine are brown and orange with the grater. Can't wait to try these! Yum!!

[@revolvermaster4939]

I always take the seeds out, but add jalapeños, seranos & habaneros. I like the incoming burn, but the seeds give me an outgoing burn. They don’t digest. As a teen I used to catfish in the Mississippi River south of Baton Rouge where a sewer treatment plant discharged in the river. For hundreds of yards near the discharge were wild peppers & tomatoes growing.

[@707ridah]

Thank you

[@Dingbattin__]

You took out the part where you earned the cooking trophy on your second finger!

[@Eudiamonia77]

“That one might be hot!” Ha! So good. Thanks for the recipes.

[@bleachdragon88]

I’m definitely gonna try that second one. I like me a little spice!

[@ArnieTex]

hope you enjoy and try them all.

[@elbolodesandiego6844]

The 2nd salsa was always a staple in my home...my Dad being the OG that he was, tatemava all the ingredients over fire and used a molcajete to grind the salsa down .it was a labor of love...RIP Pops.

[@ethanfitts7564]

Fire roasting the ingredients takes it to the next level, love it!!! I put a little bit of honey in it this last time and I definitely recommend that as well

[@tessa8230]

What does “tatemava” mean here? Is it a technique he used? I tried to research and make a similar recipe but couldn’t find anything.

[@tessa8230]

Oh! It looks like Arnie has a video on it already. How cool! 😊 Vamos a cocinar pues!

[@patibarrera2874]

Your salsas look delicious… I make a lot of salsa too. My Green Salsa is really good. Here’s the recipe 6 -8 tomatillos 1 Roma tomato 12 Serranos 3 cloves garlic 1/4 of white onion Cilantro Garlic powder, salt n pepper 1/2 lime juiced Roast the tomatillos, tomato, onion, garlic and serranos in a large pan until charred. Then place it and all the remaining ingredients in the blender with 1/4- 1/2 cup water and pulse until desired consistency. Enjoy!!

[@WarrChan]

I found this channel today when yt suggested a video where he cleaned his grill. Then after watching this vid, i just want to be friends with this guy.

[@txJoJo55]

I'm gonna make me one of these in the morning 😋Yummy UDATE: I just made the 2nd. one and yup I should have added NO water to the blender cause it came out just too watery for my liking BUT the taste was fantastic and it had just the right kick to it and it taste delicious . next time no water for me 😃👍

[@ArnieTex]

Glad to hear you are going to try it again. I have to say all three a very good.

[@stephanieyeminez89]

Looks great. Thank you.

[@fcfdroid]

Lmao 🤣🤣🤣 i appreciate how real this is: "I cut the shit outta my finger" hope you get better

[@kylemiller3779]

Any chance you can give us a recipe for the red/ranchero sauce used on most burritos?

[@babounous]

That breakfast salsa looks a lot like the Picante Sauce from Whataburger, except chunkier (yum!). I'll give that one a try this weekend when I make your 'restaurant style' fajitas! :)

[@GREENxTARA]

i love you dancing for the salsa 💃🏻 ❤

[@annikaalvarado6049]

Can't wait to try these salsa! 😋

[@ChrisWilliams-le1we]

New star here.

[@urmom]

I made the kitchen salsa just now! I substituted the 1/2 cup of boiled-tomato water with a combination of fresh squeezed lime juice and leftover sauce from making pozole (boiled quajillos y anchos with onion and garlic). WOW! I recommend this substitution if you like a bit more bite with the limon :)

[@karengodwin9476]

Can I print the recipe off do you have it listed somewhere? Thank you

[@Parrotgirl-tattoo]

Where did you get that cheese grater?! Where has that been all my life?!?!

[@Parrotgirl-tattoo]

PS new subscriber!! I'm a vegetarian, but I still enjoy watching. If you want to do some more. veggie videos, I wont complain. Lol. ❤

[@ArnieTex]

@@Parrotgirl-tattoo My wife has had that for over 20 years and doesnt remember, might have been one of those tupper ware type parties way back then

[@matthewmarquiess]

How do you get that salsa bright red color?

[@ArnieTex]

Tomatoes were ripe.

[@davidgonzales1812]

#2 👌👌

[@chasebreaker]

I noticed that you don't use onion in the first two. Is onion not traditional in salsa or is this just your preference?

[@ArnieTex]

Its my preference.

[@chasebreaker]

@@ArnieTex I completely respect that! I have been watching your videos for about a month now, and I gotta say, you have really boosted my cooking prowess! As a fellow Texan, I wanted to say thank you!

[@damned_1]

The breakfast salsa reminds me of my Grandpa, Mama, and Tia from San Antonio, my Grandma used to cook bacon cut up, remove from pan once crisp, set aside, to the pan with some of the bacon grease add a pinch of flour, brown it, then add that salsa, bacon and simmer until desired consistency is achieved. It’s perfect over eggs and oh man we had the best breakfasts and best food memories ever! To this day we make it and I’m so grateful!!! 🥹🫶🏽

[@ArnieTex]

yes great memories

[@codythompson759]

Thanks for sharing I'm going to have to try that now 🙂

[@damned_1]

@@codythompson759 it’s sooooo comforting 😋

[@ianbarba9560]

Been making salsa for years but never tried using a cheese grater. Awesome tip, less to clean up. I love it.

[@ToastyCoronet]

I just made the boiled salsa for dinner tonight, it’s so delicious! I just subscribed to your channel, I love your personality. Thanks so much for sharing your recipes!

[@davidortega357]

My salsa combined 7 Roma tomatoes w/purple onions 5 jalapenos bash of cilantro salt & pepper dash crush garlic limes 2 cans small cans tomato sauce processed in food processor good with everything chips tacos

[@christinar2652]

I'm new to your channel, a cook, a fellow Texan and a salsa (and margarita) snob of sorts. Your salsas are a new type of Triple D: divine, delicious and devoured! So happy you're sharing your recipes, personality and bloopers with all of us. I really enjoy learning from you. Thank you Arnie!

[@ArnieTex]

Thanks and welcome

[@historyraven99]

Same here. ❤️❤️😋😋😋

[@josecanyousee4125]

Thank you for not editing out the cut on the finger. It was hilarious. I've just recently done the exact same thing.

[@raphtze]

2nd salsa is my fave! i also add onion to it and tomatillo. sometimes i add arbol chiles. i use an immersion blender with the cilantro. it's also a great base to add things like chipotle. if you leave out the tomatoes and just use tomatillo, then it's an awesome salsa verde. you can always blend up with avocado for a really good salsa aguacate :)

[@prescottaz500]

Just made 2nd one. Super easy. I did add about a third onion, 2 serrano's and 1 jalapeno. Wow, so good and hot. Delicious. Thanks man.

[@TimMilliken]

Holy Cow! This guy knows his salsa!!!!! Great video. Fun to watch and learn. Thanks!!!!!

[@llchapman1234]

Arnie: @%$&%! Me: Hits Subscribe button 😆

[@okskeeter278]

Great recipe. I’d like to see your version of Mexican Picadillo.

[@kiemc1855]

Wait...! Before you came back from the stove you only had 1 Band-Aid. Now you have 2. What happened?! LOL Anyway I am definitely going to try these different ways of making salsa.

[@leonardosgood7819]

You're killin me, you magnificent brown bastard. Sharpen that knife so you don't hack off a finger...😉😄 Salud!

[@deborahsanderson7850]

Just watched the video and made some. Added lime for acid to mine. So delish. Thought about pineapple.....

[@chuckpease7700]

Fresh squeezed lime for the win. Tho it was already a winner. 🥇

[@joserivas8181]

Just made the second one for taco Tuesday! My family loved it. I made a minor modification. I used two jalapeños and one serrano instead, as I know those serranos can be pretty mean. :) Still had a good kick though!

[@andrewgipson3289]

I came back to to say them serranos are mean. I used a half one for 8 tomatoes and it was so hot not even a finger could be felt with. But these homegrown this last year are harsh.

[@Pete_952]

Oooo man! Just made the Breakfast Salsa and for me it's the all day all night salsa too! Sorry you sliced yourself, but, that's what you get for using an 8" stiff boning knife to cut vegetables bro! Ouch!

[@dreamybuys1133]

"bcuz I cut the shit outta my finger while ago" If you ever wonder what a true Texan speaks like there it is. This is a normal conversation between me and my friends. Very few howdys.

[@jtekholm]

Ouch, did you cut your other finger as well? Suddenly there's two bandages, oof. But what a lovely video, I need to try the breakfast salsa as I don't have a blender.

[@smfwildchild]

Thank you these recipes. I’ve always wanted to learn how to make good salsa. I’m never buying salsa again!!

[@isabeldiaz2378]

I always cut myself, you so cute gonna make your salsa they look delicious

[@tonymanna9160]

I have made all these. Love making salsa and the breakfast one reminds me of chileciles. Sorry can’t spell.

[@Pancakes1121]

How long can you keep the salsa in the fridge for?

[@ArnieTex]

It doesn't last but a day or two at my house, we tend to enjoy it with everything we eat.

[@eds3429]

All three look good!! Definitely trying out the second and third one asap.. The second one with some good carne asada this weekend and the third one over some egg and queso fresco omelette. Can’t wait! Keep the great recipes coming man, thank you.

[@PolarBearXx]

Green sauce is the best lol idk why my mom made one that tasted exactly like guacamole it was from zucchini it was soft super good I was blown i told her U knew this all along

[@cherrychapstick1830]

Why no onion in the 1st 2? Do you use white or yellow onions?? Thanks

[@ArnieTex]

I prefer white onions

[@markwilkins9048]

Love the 2nd one,,,but how long do you boil the tomatoes and peppers?

[@fiddlefolk]

Gonna try your methods. Texan here so I am used to really good salsa. I add a tsp of chili powder and a tsp of worchestershire to mine for some spice. Thank you sir!

[@johnguillory72]

Hope that cut didn't burn too bad since you were cutting Serrano's

[@rebelheartmermaid]

You're hilarious 😂 new subscriber. Can't wait to try the salsa

[@aylish11]

Thank you for these recipes!!! I’m a Texan but currently living in Colorado. The salsas are just not the same here & I’ve been missing one of my favorite meals, Steak La Mexicana and I’m convinced that the breakfast salsa you made is what the steak would be cooked in & smothered with! I can’t wait to make it!😋

[@smartyax11111]

good video i love eating salasa with a sapoon

[@mchilly]

Great video! I just made my first salsa using the boiling method and my wife and I couldn’t stop eating it. Thanks for making these videos!

[@definitelyahuman9129]

This dude is awesome. Love the dance lol. I do the same when it's that good.

[@StefanieKirby]

Need those HEB Bakery tortilla chips

[@208getalife]

Tio Arnie! I'm sorry that I keep failing you but my salsa always comes out really light in color compared to yours in the blender, do you have any idea why this might be??? 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@ArnieTex]

Try finding the best red looking tomatoes.

[@EmpressNatiLocs]

Just sent this video to my daughter! You literally had my mouth watering! Can’t wait to try these. 😋I noticed this morning I didn’t have salsa in my fridge this morning when I wanted to make a breakfast burrito. Now I don’t have to buy Pace picante sauce at the store!☺️

[@josephcooper8885]

Your salsas are life changing. Can't ever go back to store bought after trying out a couple of these recipes

[@tomphalon]

Are these typically served warm or cold? Or either way?

[@ArnieTex]

You can do either way if you like.

[@HADESPAYLOAD]

Salsa 2 is so good and simple. I did it with habanero as I didn’t have jalapeno. Such a great staple and a base to work off of. Thank you for sharing.

[@kerrygeoghegan]

just curious why there is no lime? is it because these are cooked salsas?

[@ArnieTex]

I don't use lime in these, I have other salsas for that. Just my preference.

[@SonicBoomC98]

I usually do one like the second one except I put them in my roasting pan instead of boiling. I also use onions in my blender one. I like these recipes. Just like mine, I put a serrano with a red jalapeno or Fresno. I have a friend that might drop a habanero in his.

[@rgarza9311]

Legit brother! Was looking forward to this one for a while!

[@MooseMeus]

You remind me of Super Mario

[@stevemcguffey148]

How long did you boil the tomatoes for?

[@MstrSnoops]

3:06 You typically boil the tomatoes & peppers until the skin of the tomato has almost peeled away completely & the pepper becomes darker. If the pepper cooks gets darker 1st, then remove & place into the blender. Every stovetop is different & also depends if you’re using electric or gas.

[@ratlips4363]

Love the grater with the box. Enough that I just ordered on from Amazon. By the way, too much water in the salsa? Put some corn tortillas (full size) into it to absorb the liquid. Then remove and save as a chef's reward. Now, I just watched you cut your finger. I have to say that using a sharp boning knife vs. a sharp chef's knife...is not advised. More control with the bigger blade. Ouch!

[@MRDINO0419]

My dad has the same moustache!
