Summer Salsa

This refreshing salsa can be made in minutes with the help of my Fire Roasted Onions, Jalapeno and Red Pepper Flakes.  Perfect for a hot summer day!

For this recipe you will need:

Put 5 of the tomatoes into a food processor with ¾ of the pepper, ½ the cilantro and lime juice.  Pulse until chunks are a good size dice, approximately 1/8 inch.

Pour the mixture into a bowl.  Add the salt, Fire Roasted Onions, Jalapeno and Red Pepper Flakes.  Roughly chop the remaining pepper, tomato and cilantro then mix into the bowl.

Scoop up with your favorite chips; mix with chopped avocados or top tacos and burritos.

For this recipe you will need:

Preheat grill to high heat

Brush both sides of the steak with olive oil. Rub Smoky Paprika Chipotle over both sides, and salt to taste. Place the steak on the grill, and cook 4 minutes per side or until desired degree of doneness. Remove from grill and let rest for 5 minutes.
