I have a confession to make.
I have a borderline inappropriate love for salsa. There. I said it.
I promise you, if there is a will, there is a way. I will sneak salsa into almost ANYTHING. Okay, not like dessert or anything, because that’s just weird. But pretty much everything else. I’ve used it as dressing on a salad. Healthier, and so much tastier than salad dressing. And just plain old, gosh-darn good. I almost always have to have salsa with scrambled eggs in the morning — yuh huh. I scramble the eggs up in a skillet, toss in some crushed up tortilla chips (just like a tablespoon or three) and some cheese and let it all melt up.
Put all of that on a warm tortilla and top with a couple tablespoons of this blender salsa. You’ve got to try it. It is seriously the best breakfast taco of your life. If I could, I would eat this for every meal of the day. Every. single. day
I actually had no intention of posting this recipe today.
Sorry, guys. It’s not that I wanted to keep this 5 minute salsa recipe away from you or anything. I just figured that you might appreciate it a little more if I brought it to you, say like, Cinco de Mayo. But when my slow cooker Hawaiian pulled chicken sliders failed (and I do mean failed miserably) as in I could not eat more than a bite. And I contemplated whether it was worth swallowing. Yuh huh. That bad. Anees, on the other hand, said it was pretty good. My tastebuds totally didn’t agree. Sorry not sorry. You reeeeeeeeally would not be loving those sliders. But I do know that this blender salsa is money, honey! Totally the complete opposite of those horrendous pulled chicken sliders.
