I’ve been making this salsa forever and to be honest, it works out to be much cheaper
than the pathetic bottled salsa’s flooding the supermarket.
It’s nothing special but damn it’s good.

Ingredients:

1- 28oz can of crushes tomatoes (preferably Pastene but  anything without basil or seasoning)
1- medium sized Vidalia onion, finely diced
2- cloves of garlic, minced
2 tsps. ground cumin
1 tsp Kosher salt (yeah, that’s a weird one)
1 1/2 tsp of canned jalapeno peppers, minced
the juice of 1 lime (more if needed, to taste)
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp of some kickass hot sauce (more, if desired . . .   the mo’  the better)
2 Tbls of fresh cilantro, minced (can’t be the dried variation)
1 -pinch of dark brown sugar (tnx, Moe)
1- Tbls of Cuervo Gold tequila, if you’re feeling dangerous (or lucky)

Mix and refrigerate for 1 hour (or two days)
Awesome on an omelet or with tortilla chips. (or on a teaspoon!)
Enjoy!

This is a very simple recipe.
So simple, in fact,  it was given the above name.

You will need:

*Boneless Chicken Breast
*Ken’s Italian Salad Dressing
*Trader Joe’s Corn Flakes (they work the best)
*Spices (oregano, basil, red pepper flake . . . )
*Salt & fresh ground pepper

Marinate chicken for at least 4 hours in the fridge.
Crush Corn Flakes and add spices.
Roll chicken in flakes and place in a non-stick baking pan.
Bake at 375 for 45-60 minutes.
Goes great with mashed sweet potatoes & fresh steamed green beans.
