Two TAQUERIA STYLE SALSA Recipes | Traditional Green & Red Jalapeño for Tacos

The quest for salsa nirvana continues.
Getcha Some APC BBQ Rubs Here:
www.pitmaster.us/
In this video we’re making a traditional salsa verde and a salsa roja. Both of these are estilo Monterrey, MX and courtesy of my good friend Ruben “El Borrego” Rios who made these for us during one of our epic bbq classes. Gracias Compadre!
For our salsa verde we’re gonna use seven tomatillos, three green jalapenos, two cloves of garlic, a head of cilantro and 2 tsp APC OG - which is salt pepper and garlic. This is a boiled salsa that is rich in flavor and can be a great base for other recipes like enchiladas suizas or just for topping tacos and your favorite plates.
Now the salsa roja is a little bit different but just as amazing. This recipe calls for seven red jalapeños, five roma tomatoes, two garlic cloves, seven chile de arbol, 2 tsp of APC OG and while blending…2 tablespoons of olive oil. This gives the salsa roja a creamy, smooth texture that is delicious with chips, some loaded ribs or any grilled meats.
Let’s fire it up and make some salsas! Yee hawwww

Salsa verde was something that took me too long to figure out. Some years back I was hungry and saw a small taco place and decided to try it out. Man, some excellent tacos and the "green sauce" was addicting. They didn't speak much English and I didn't speak much Spanish and they called it "green sauce" and it took me months to finally figure out what exactly it was and what was in it. I can never have a taco without it again lol. People don't know what they're missing.

Can you show and teach us how to make corn and flour tortillas…the authentic way? Thank you for being and leading our way into the delicious Mexican food 😊❤❤

[@grantsmith505]

I've been making 50/50 flour and corn tortillas They are soft and tough like wheat tortillas, but flavoursome and nutritious like corn Basically, for corn tortillas, 4 parts masa harina 3 parts water Salt Mix until like play dough Rest Press Fry I also did 5/5/1 part flour with 5 parts corn, 5 parts wheat and 1 part lentil flour The lentil flour is used in chapatti bread, and gives the tortilla a really nice colour to the fried tortillas

[@mandobizar]

My wife is going to be surprised when she gets home 😂. This salsa taste sooo goood 😋. Thank you!!

[@elvergia3714]

I'm the kind of person that if you put 4 salsas in front of me I'll put all the salsas on the taco. I love salsa. us Mexicans can't live without it

[@Ladyp1904]

😂 I found my people. I'm a saucy person. I do the same thing. If the salsa is missing I get so upset😅

[@mikemontague8208]

A fellow Texan who loves all types salsa but I really like your version of salsa roja !

[@briguy9915]

Oh nice! I've been wanting to make taqueria style salsa for YEARS! I usually just buy it at a local spanish market, but this looks so much better! Thanks!

[@MBTX0424]

I love that you taste the salsa when it's still hot (temperature) 🔥 🥰 tastes even better! I normally don't like tomatillo salsa, but your recipe is making me want to try, thanks for sharing!

[@WurmHouse365]

I absolutely love your food tasting reactions. It hits so close to home.

[@korieelrod2211]

That is what I am saying From AZ ..and Can NOT find authenic like this here... Have to start making my own because the way he makes it.. reminds me of home

[@texaspete1523]

on the jalapenos to know if hot or not, you look for lines in the jalapenos which means its hot. the dark green are pretty mild

[@ArnieTex]

I've tried that but its not always accurate in my experience, thanks Pete

[@jacquelinewashington7851]

I love the happy dance at the end, that’s when you know it’s bomb! ❤🤤

[@bluemoonlight680]

Where have u been all my life. U R videos have made my husband & I very happy.

[@stuffjerrydoes7603]

on my last trip to mexico I went to a local taqueria that served this style of red salsa and it was the best salsa that I had on the trip! I am going to try this today.

[@elizoupondue]

I haven't made the salsa roja yet, but made the salsa verde and ate it with carnitas I made. It was so delicious! Thank you for the recipe!

[@jaysonescoe5799]

Oh boy. I’m going to try this very soon. I love me some salsa. Paired with our own made chips. From tortillas. Air fried of course.

[@PikRabbit]

I had a sudden craving late at night, I discover ur vids and i love ur attitude and personality along with the recipes ❤

[@BBSoonerOU]

Just tried the green salsa recipe. Amazing, ive been putting it on everything

[@justinhales302]

We need to get this man his own show. He is so great. Also my wife eats salsa the same way with just a little dip😅

[@royal_kira7184]

But he does have his own show, right here on KZbin!

[@bogrunberger]

This is my new favorite channel. I love Mexican and Tex-Mex, and living in Scandinavia it's so good with a little heat in the winter and early spring.

[@Felix-qz9cy]

Qué chulada ya me dio ganas de prender el bote..

[@josephsmith7638]

Thank you for the recipes! I'm going to use them this week. I'm gonna put the salsa verde on tacos from another one of your vids and I'm pumped for it.

[@SuperFishdaddy]

My wife and I made the salsa roja yesterday and it is fantastic! we discovered your channel recently and have enjoyed making several of your recipes. cheers from South Carolina!

[@ArnieTex]

Welcome aboard!

[@bigjt37]

I'm also huge fan of your salsa videos, really awesome stuff! The best 🔥👌🏼🥇

[@rebeccaclause2960]

Arnie, I made the Salsa Verde today. For the peppers I used, one Jalapeno and three Serranos. Very delicious and the right amount of heat for me. This is the fourth of your salsa recipes that I have made and all have been amazing! 😺

[@ArnieTex]

Thank you

[@WolfKrime33]

Get fired up! In my early 30s and as of recently past year or so have taken an interest in culinary. I Think mastering my salsas would be a good move early on. I hear a good salsa comes in time. Mastering the recipe by eye and from the heart.Thanks for the inspiration Arnie! Gonna give these a go. They look delicious. Especially the Roja. Beautiful color.

[@clarencewilliams9432]

It's the dance for me. Everybody needs to live this way. I'm going to try this. Great video. Keep going towards the top

[@axerito]

Made the salsa verde today with what I have here in the northern Basque Country. Green piment d’Espelette for the jalapenos and green tomatoes for the tomatillos. Came out super good! Pretty spicy! Will try the red once the piment d’Espelette turn red.

[@cliffordgoehring7146]

Simple and easy, you can't beat that. And a good cold Lone Star to tame the heat. 👍 👍

[@elswinesmoker]

Just did your green salsa recipe 🤯🔥 it’s going on my brisket tacos today 🤤 Thanks for the videos ✊🏽

[@cerebrumexcrement]

i like how u teach. u make it look easy so dummies like me can understand.

[@articulatemadness]

Love green salsa. Your Salsa Roja slapped! Will be trying the both of these next time I'm at the farmer's market.

[@SMichelle626]

Just made the salsa verde and it changed my life lol! It was sooooooo good omg!!!! The only edition I would make is adding a Serrano or two to up the spice level.

[@savage_liz2259]

I love watching your videos especially when wifey supports him ❤

[@anthonyhershiser7528]

I made the recipe just like the video. My favorite flavor was the one sticker that was on a tomato. Really added some depth.

[@cheyennerafterq]

lol!

[@patriciasears4209]

Enjoyed this video. Thanks!

[@JinzouningenTX]

Love these salsa videos! As a Texan who loves to BBQ and cook, salsa is literally a way of life. I always complicated it, but you showed me the light. Simple is key, the most simple salsa is always best and gets that restaurant quality flavor. 👍

[@ArnieTex]

Totally agree, "salsa is a way of life" for us Texans for sure.

[@KokoKoko-md3fj]

Pls show how to make good Mexican chips😊

[@ArnieTex]

@@KokoKoko-md3fj watch my botana video on this page, its there, thanks

[@jasonhastings8324]

As a person that lives in the hill country it is a staple at our house and in the oil field in south Texas

[@strummingnerd]

I will definitely try these!! A suggestion for another recipe... My local Mexican restaurant is very authentic. They make a dark reddish brown spicy sauce that has a good amount of heat. I do not know the name of the sauce, but it's good!!

[@atxjed]

Just got my OG delivered and made the Salsa Verde, so freaking good!

[@614PESCAYMAS]

Compa this is better than any Mexican restaurant around my area I’ll make this till the day I die muchas gracias homie

[@californiabrad]

Christmas salsas are so good like you had them.

[@biffjoesen2529]

Great pace and info.

[@YosemiteScubaDiver]

I tried one of your other salsas. The Chipotle made it so much better. I personally don't care for the flavor of boiled jalapenos. Next time I'm trying them fresh. Love your recipes. The Pinto beans and refried beans recipe is awesome.

[@DrFeelGood96]

I don't like boiled jalapeño either. What I've been doing lately is throwing them in, along with the tomatillos, into my air fryer. About 10-12 minutes on max heat. Gets that nice charred flavor.

[@user-ct2dm9vy3e]

That brings back the first time I started making Mexican salsas I used to make it most every day just remember back I guess

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Looks very tasty. I also love olive oil. Cheers, Arnie! 👍👍✌️

[@seanleafgreen135]

Arnie , So glad I found your channel. Thoroughly enjoying your videos. You should post a video that includes all the 'happy dances' you've done !

[@beanerschnitzel794]

thank you for the terrific video

[@thejizzle8802]

Just subbed. Not sure why it took me so long. I love your energy and it shows you really enjoying cooking. Well done Señor.

[@keithatkinson7649]

Need to try these Arnie. I've not made a boiled salsa before

[@dive-bomb]

love you arnie thanks for keeping my skillet working

[@MichaelCurrie71]

I made the Verde today and it turned out great. I tweeted some process photos and tagged you. Thanks brother!

Those red jalapeños look beautiful. I’ve never seen any here in Northern California. I’ll have to visit a Mexican market to see if I can find them. Thanks for sharing 😋👍

Thanks for such a fun video. I checked out the rub and the salsa roja video. Beans next. When you got tacos this good, five XX, and a wife, what else do you need? I'll check out your other videos.

Thank you so much!!!

[@joelrodriguez3568]

I hope you will be making spring barbecue videos soon awesome weather

[@willkestn3497]

Just made this. But added one Serano and one Anahiem. Didnt have OG, but used Lawry's Casero Total Seasoning Sazón a Más. So damn good!

[@MagnumROCKSTAR1]

Arnie big fan of your videos. I been watching them and learning a lot from them. Them salsas are killer 👌 would it be possible to do a video on how to make chicharones to go with that salsa

[@moomoocho1196]

Hi Arnie, love your video’s!!! Could you please make us a traditional Mexican recipe of beans and rice…I am trying to keep my grocery bill down and man you can cook sir 👍👍👍 keep the videos coming mate!

[@ArnieTex]

Check out my recipe on rice and charro beans.

[@MrCrackyman]

Looks awesome! I'm surprised there's no lime anywhere, but as you say, there's no wrong way and folks can add it if they want!

[@Powermass]

This reminds me of the red and green salsas made in The Canary Islands (Spain): Mojo Rojo y Mojo Verde.

[@jacksmith-yq5my]

I hope someday you will show your different ways to heat store bought tortillas.

[@michaelmolina9667]

We always use 5 pieces to a whole head of garlic in everything we cook except eggs

[@TheRubenGalvan]

Have you ever added about half a lime to your salsa verde? I used to when I made it a lot, when I lived in another town about 11 years ago. I would make it the same way you did and add a luittle lime juice to it, everyone loved it, I used to be called "The Salsa Man" in that town.

[@hotwingkilla6134]

I recently learned that the Arbol chiles do not mess around...added 3 to a batch of hot sauce (3 cups when finished blending) it was hot! BOOM

[@juliovargas5029]

ESO MI SENOR ARNIE.. SALUDOS DE DALY CITY C.A.

[@maxpower78-15]

Im trying my hand at the green sauce tonight! Fingers crossed. My blender is smaller, so my recipe will have to be adjusted

[@hicksminingcompany]

I got a lava rock mortar. now to watch some more videos before I try it out

[@user-we4go8ty3q]

Life without salsa would be boring

[@BasicBeachCommunity1]

I love salsa...we ake chiichurri in Chile tho ...similar

[@kentsatterfield6617]

Just made the green salsa 10 minutes ago and the bowl is half gone! Next batch I’m gonna add a habanero to kick it up. Thanks for the video on these!

[@brandonhoyle255]

Please show us how to make Carne en su Jugo the Arnie way!

[@wilmetteentwistle9242]

Looks great! Sauce turns orangeish because air is being incorporated at a high speed known as a suspension. The air bubbles spread out the red pigments.

[@theprofit1253]

Great vid. How long can we store the salsa in the fridge?

[@darkstranger777]

Love watching your videos. Do you have any BBQ sauce recipes?

[@ArnieTex]

Not yet!

[@garyg2882]

Love your recipes Arnie! I have a question; We had a mexican restaurant nearby that served Mexican rice with vegetables in it, like peas, small bits of carrot, potato, occasionally a lima bean or green bean, and some diced onion. Do you have a recipe similar to that? Thanks in advance!

[@giovannigiorgio2262]

i like red one

[@vc739]

I found you again! Know how hard it was to remember the channel name? LoL I don't know why but a lot of the people I used to be subscribed to, I can not find anymore, I had to re-subscribe. I thought maybe you guys were taking a break from YT.

[@sinepari9160]

I prefer that really smooth verde salsa at the border restaurants in the squeeze containers even smoother than this. Do you just blend it smoother or it some added cream etc? I've been told it's just jalpenos and cream or added sour cream or the tomatillos. So the olive oil provides the smoothness!

[@kcchiefs0428]

We always knew my mom was making salsa everybody in the house would coughing 😂👍🏼

[@einar987]

Please write a cookbook!

[@bernadettechute7998]

I have never tried a boiled salsa before. Can you please share how that changes the flavor or texture or why boiling is done? Love learning new things from you.!

[@lokimarie1520]

With roasted you get a Smokey flavor to your salsa. With the boiled it’s more about the veggie flavors and more mild in the flavor compared to Smokey. Hope this helps 😊

[@kittawa]

I just bought a bunch of tomatillos for chile verde, but I might just need to make the salsa verde instead... gotta get me some more tomatillos....

[@ms.d8628]

The Jalapeños that look like they have Grey scarring on them are hot! The more scarring, the hotter.

[@robertworlds6765]

Like your videos.. also from South texas. Love to Make different types of salsa. But I never thought of using olive oil in red taqueria salsa. I’m wondering if where can I buy that OG spice if they sell it at HEB

[@williamward7801]

Ugh. Can’t find red jalapeños in any of my grocery stores. Doing the verde tonight!

[@Elazul2k]

You can sub the green ones if you don't mind the color being different. Red ones are just green ones that have ripened further.

[@williamward7801]

@@Elazul2k how about Fresnos?

[@pauldelpozo5637]

If roast a couple of habaneros and use those with a can of corn adds another dimension to green salsa

[@sumochop360]

I like the olive oil cause it's flavor is better to me it gives it more depth but most if not all restaurants just use vegetable oil cause it's cheaper and usually has no flavor but we want flavor!

[@korieelrod2211]

What are the spices in the OG.. seasoning and where do I find it? Can I make my own OG seasoning?
