One Minute Salsa
Printable recipe here
submitted by Melanie
*Note: This recipe works great halved--just use 1 14oz can tomatoes
1/2 small red onion, peeled and quartered
1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup drained jarred pickled jalapenos
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes, drained
In the bowl of a food processor (or a blender), pulse the onion, cilantro, jalapenos, lime juice, garlic and salt until coarsely chopped.
Add the drained tomatoes and pulse until combined. Don't overprocess in this step if you want your salsa to remain chunky - just give it a few good 1-second pulses until everything is mixed. You can place the salsa in a fine mesh strainer or sieve and drain briefly if you want (I don't). Transfer to a bowl and serve.
Makes 3 cups.
Healthy Baked Tortilla Chips
4 corn tortillas cut into 8 triangular pieces with a pizza cutter (just like you were cutting a pizza)
Cooking spray
Kosher salt
Spread the triangular pieces of corn tortillas on a baking sheet. I use my Pampered Chef Stoneware bar pan. Spray corn tortilla triangles with cooking spray and sprinkle with kosher salt. Bake in preheated 350 oven for 10+ minutes. Check often and stir once halfway thru if needed. Just watch them and take out when golden brown.
*The corn tortillas I use are only 100 calories, 8 grams of fiber and 1 gram of fat. So for 32 chips and fresh salsa I only use 2 points on Weight Watchers! Cool!
Looks great and I appreciate the waist-friendly fare!
ReplyDeleteThis salsa looks awesome!! Sounds very similar to the one I make:) I'm def going to try making my own chips though-love that idea:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice treat/snack for the upcoming "pie baking day".
ReplyDeleteMmm... looks great, Mels! I love having another "winter" salsa recipe. And good luck on the weight loss challenge!
ReplyDeleteWhen I lost my weight on WW, the baked tortilla chips were a staple - completely forgot about them - thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteI must try this one, sounds great!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to try this. I just started weight watchers last week, so chips and salsa for 2 points is AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me what brand of tortillas you use? I'd love to give these a try!
