Fresh, homemade salsa can be a total game changer. This Anaheim chile and fresh tomato salsa is good with tortilla chips, but you'll also want it on hand for tacos, burritos, and eggs too.

3 medium fresh tomatoes, seeded and chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 Anaheim chile, seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon lime juice (or lemon)
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
Combine the tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, chile, and cilantro in a bowl. Sprinkle with the garlic, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, and garlic salt. Toss gently to combine.
Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before serving.
Serve with tortilla or corn chips. Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

Only change was to use fresh lime juice. Not too spicy. I like a saucier picante so I pureed half of it in the blender then mixed it back with the rest.

Good no-cook picante which is what I prefer. Keeps the flavors stronger and fresher.
