Years ago I used to have a restaurant down in the Tex-Mex and taqueria territory of San Juan, Texas.
In an effort to serve consistent, delicious salsa roja to the customers I needed to make large batches at a time. This is the exact recipe I came up with that kept everyone coming back for more.

5 roma tomatoes
5 serrano peppers
A handful cilantro
¼-⅓ Onion
1 Can crushed tomatoes
3 Canned Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce - Розваги
The mustache, the personality, the smile, the amazing tutorial, and all the hard work into the video production. Absolutely love your channel after only seeing this video.
Thank you.
You already know, when you see a Mexican dude with a mustache or a chubby, older Mexican woman getting ready to cook, it's going to be good. Hate to be nearly cliche, but it's been the truth, in my experience, lol.
@@ArnieTex did you use any lime juice? 🤔 not that it's necessary. Just surprised
I‘ve searched so long fit a good Salsa recipe. Finally found it here. It is delicious!
Thanks Arnie!
Greetings from Germany
@@ArnieTex Great Choice. Salsa Roja! If you ever get a chance, can you recreate the Salsa Verde from La Parilla Suiza? They are located in Tucson, Phoenix and Mexico City.
Thank you brother
I've done some foundation work for this man a few years ago. He then cooked a great BBQ for the entire work crew. Humble and very generous.
Very few homeowners are cool like that, dope that he was for you guys
@@juliatarter7513 we've had alot of generous homeowners who appreciated the work we'd do. Unfortunately I don't work there anymore but there really is kind people out there!🙏
@@juliatarter7513 most definitely thank you! Unfortunately I don't work there anymore but I got to see alot of generous people who appreciate the work!
Yummy yummy salsa 🤤🤤😋😋
5 tomatoes
5 serrano
1 can diced fire roasted tomatoes
Handful of cilantro
1/3 onion
2 - Chipotle
Salt
Amazing, best salsa in the world
5 Ceranos* but those work too lol
I screenshotted that. Thanks!
Need's some Garlic cloves in it and maybe a TBSP or two of lime juice.
@@cleverr_serranos*
He added serranos not jalapeños
I feel like every person in the world should have a best friend like this. That is all. Watch the video. You can’t disagree.
This guy is so wholesome and genuine. I’d love to spend a Sunday afternoon cooking and eating with him.
Me too!
Me too! Learning and eating!
He is what Texas is all about.
I hope it stays that way
and drinking beer!
iYo tambien!
Blending a fine puree as a base for the rest of the salsa - that's so simple yet brilliant man. Creating a variation in texture, giving a more uniform flavor, and allowing the salt the fully dissolve throughout the salsa. I just blend it all at once and never gave it that much thought. Thank you for the pro tip. I'm gonna whip some up in your honor.
I never thought of it either! It seems so simple and obvious after the fact. Excellent tip.
Simple genius
Same! Gonna try this weekend
Hubs complains my salsa is too watery. Tried your technique and presto, it’s the perfect texture. Genius!
As much salsas I make weekly, that mix of blending had never came to mind 😳
This man is adorable! And knowledgeable.. he said "snacky snack" and my heart smiled.
This man's cooler than a fan..... He even gives you options
Ive made this salsa 10+ times it is so good. I started only using 3 jalapeños thinking there was no way I could handle the heat from Serrano peppers. I now use a combo of jalapeño and Serrano and the heat is FUN. Love the smoky flavor from the chipotle in adobo sauce too. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I made this today legit it's the best salsa I've ever made. I roasted all of the fresh veggies and added about 4 cloves of garlic. The chipotle in adobo sauce is the game changer. Added some lime juice when I added the cilantro and I'm flying high! Crazy, crazy good. About to finish a bag of chips. This'll be a regular in our house. Oh my...
So, you didn't make THIS salsa. You made a similar salsa with roasted veggies, garlic, and lime juice - none of which was in the recipe. That's like me saying I made a fried chicken recipe, but I baked it instead.
@@NotSoAmazing You say tomato, I say tomate
@@NotSoAmazingcorrect. They made their own salsa. Sounds great, but it has nothing to do with this recipe.
I’m a home chef and I realized last week that I have never made homemade salsa before. This recipe was delicious! The adobo sauce gave it a whole new flavor profile I wouldn’t have thought of. The only change I made was to blend it a little bit more because there were really big chunks in it still. Then I just added the can of petite diced tomatoes at the end for some more chunks.
Dude. My guy. I'm going to blow people away with this, it's amazing.
My mouth was drooling through this whole video!!! I think I'm going to stop off the grocery store and make this reciepe!!
First thing I noticed was he has an unmistakable “born in my neck of the woods” charm that i associate with Mexico and South Texas. Second my boy is using HEB and Bolner’s Fiesta products and spices. In other words, in my experience this is the kind of guy who knows what he’s talking about. I’ve made this recipe twice now. I made it yesterday for Mother’s Day and served it to my wife and mother-in-law-with extra soup bones because they both love the marrow! Thank you brother!!
Everybody loves this salsa when I make it for outdoor gatherings. Before, I used to just make basic pico, which is still good and great as a topping for anything. But I needed to know how to get the right texture for salsas you see only in restaurants. The added kick from the chipotle peppers are so good! Better than any salsa I have ever had! I made a peach habanero version with this technique. The possibilities are endless
I love making fresh salsa. There’s nothing better.
THIS. This is the salsa recipe I've been searching for. I've tried so many salsa recipes and none of them were just right. But this is just perfection. I couldn't stop eating it straight out of the blender!
u bugggin
You honestly didnt even make it.
@@jeremyhall7951 huh..?
@@--raine-- yes, they lied about the extremely difficult act of putting tomato and onions in a blender
@@millomelon7702 what? this person said that the og commenter didn't make the salsa and i said "huh?" likeeee fym they didn't make it??
I don't know how I haven't found this channel before, but this was my first time watching. 15 seconds in and I hit subscribe. Nothing in the world tops Mexican cuisine in my book. Can't wait to watch all your other stuff
Salsa with bean & cheese taco..yum!😋
I came for the salsa, I stayed for the mustache.
Your smile is contagious and your recipes are pure gold. Thanks!
Wow, thank you!
There's a certain passion that comes through in your videos, you truly love mexican food. And that makes your videos so much easier and enjoyable to watch. You easily earned a subscription.
Arnie. I live in Texas and have enjoyed Tex-Mex food at restaurants all my life. Thank you for sharing your recipes. Sometimes our favorite restaurants close. I don't want these delicious foods gone! Now with your help I can enjoy Tex-Mex from anywhere in the world and share the joy with others by cooking.
Arnie....You sir are amazing. Best salsa I've ever made. I used a can of the insanely sought after and wonderful San Marzano tomatoes in place of the crushed and it was THE BEST I've ever made....Thank you sir for all your hard work and wonderful videos. Your following says it all.
You are honestly, a kick to watch cook. I love your smile, personality and knowledge in cooking. Thanks for the Wow in salsa, rice, etc. Love watching you!! 🥰
Thank you so much!
This is one of the most wholesome channels ever ❤️ I have been trying to perfect my salsa. I will try this recepie soon. I am even growing my own cilantro on my porch and will use that in this Salsa!
There's something to be said about someone that can captivate you and make you smile and make it seem so effortless. I'm sure, for him , it is effortless. Great video! I'ma make this, for sure!
I could listen to this dude talk about food all day. What passion 😊
Bingo! That has been the base salsa I have used for 20 yrs! I love your suggestions for the chipoltes and canned tomatoes for consistency. Yes, I'm subscribing right now!!!! Mucho Gracias!!!!!
I'll share this with my Mexican-American friend in Oregon. He always loves to learn more about his heritage since his dad died when he was young and couldn't teach him much about it. Delicioso! 🌶🌶🌶
This guy just seems like the kinda guy you’d wanna know. Genuine dude. I’ve never seen ya before but you’ve earned yourself a random subscriber
I'm not sure if I'm gonna make this any time soon but this seems so comfort food made by someone's mom. And it doesn't hurt that this guy is such a pleasant instructor, even if I'll never make this, I'm happy I got to enjoy his company. Makes it feel like comfortable moment in a friendly kitchen.
You earned my respect in the first 30 seconds. Anyone that scoops salsa is a true son of Mexico. I can stand people that dip a chip then rub their tummy like it was salt from the earth. I need at least a teaspoon on every bite.
Lol okay it’s not that serious
@@trebor000 Yeah, it's that serious, if not, why are you here?
One of the simple rules I have in my life is: food is merely the vehicle for sauce! That includes salsa. I'll drink it with every bite.
I really like this guy and we’ve never met. Lol
Who doesn't scoop salsa? Where do you live where people don't scoop salsa with their chip?
This salsa is so good! I used my late season homegrown tomatoes because I had an abundance. The Chipolte peppers really add a smoky flavor and complexity of flavor. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for this video! I have been making my own salsa for 3 years now. What is so cool is that no batch is exactly the same! It's like jazz music. Improvised, whatever your feeling at the moment. It was watery and earthy tasting when I started, but has improved a lot.
As a native texan myself, I just want to say I love what you do. All of it hits real close to home and I love it. The BBQ and Mexican crossover is everything my youth was so thank you.
Mexican salsa recipe, the original and beautiful 😍.This is what most Americans love ❤. Thank you for sharing your recipe chef.
My girlfriend and I have been trying to nail down a home salsa recipe without relying too much on recipes, using trial and error. I’m glad to see my idea of puréeing some of the ingredients as a base wasn’t insane 😂. I’ll be taking some lessons from this video and applying them to the next batch! Thanks!
You're the real deal, I've made this recipe and slight variations a dozen times. Very very good. Thank you, sir!
This is a late comment to your post of six months ago. Short and sweet. Outstanding Salsa! I have been making Salsa for many years, but nothing has come close to this batch I made following your receipt. It came out absolutely delicious. What I have been missing was the puree step and the Chipotle peppers. What a difference that makes. I now have a salsa I can make at home and be very confident in sharing. I will never take the credit for the salsa, but I be happy to share the true genius behind this delicious salsa. Thank you, Arnie.
Just made this salsa. Three weeks after seeing the video and those chipotles take it to another level! So good. I used canned fire roasted tomatoes instead of fresh and there is no lack of flavor! Thank you for sharing.
You're that guy that everybody likes 😊
I love Mexican food... specially authentic Mexican food....
I just made this for the first time yesterday. I did exactly by your instructions and omg. This is absolutely a great tasting salsa. Thank you very much for this. Raising a chip in your honor. Cheers
Glad you liked it!!
Made this today to go with chili rellenos for dinner. Added garlic and lime juice. This is now definitely my go to salsa recipe. Thanks!
Just found this recipe and I'm curious how much garlic and lime you used. I'm trying to change up the salsa I normally make and found several different recipes. But I tend to be bad at gauging proper amounts when they're not listed.
@@robertlaib908 free ball it. Add the garlic and lime at the end In incriminates to your taste.
I've just decided to never buy premade salsa again. You made fresh look easy and worth the chopping.
One of the best salsa recipes I have found online. Thanks for sharing, Arnie!!
You sir are my new hero! This is the best salsa (hands down) I have ever had. Im 68 years old so I've tried many. Thank you so much. I am subscribed and look forward to your other recipes. I'm cooking your refried beans right now and eating the salsa with a spoon👍
Just made this salsa with a variation. Used 3 jalapenos and 2 serrano's, plus I added 4 cloves of garlic in the initial blending.
Absolutely superb!!!!
Made this tonight!!! had to use vine ripe tomatoes and small diced tomatoes with basil and garlic and oregano I also used garlic and tiny bit of cumin and deseeded all but one jalapeño as we can’t do hot … used the blending technique THIS SALSA IS THE BOMB …thank you so much!!
I just made this salsa! I added 2 cloves of garlic and some lime juice and boy oh boy is this the best salsa! Moving to the upper midwest, there isn't too many great Mexican restraunts with good salsa so now I can just make my own and it was really easy too!! Thank you!❤
Been getting more into cooking and was looking for a good salsa, this was the recipe I went with I used 3 serranos instead of 5 because of the heat for my wife. I added 3 chopped garlic cloves and the juice from a whole lemon I also went with 3 teaspoons of salt instead of one the salsa is perfect I will always keep the ingredients on hand thanks for such a easy recipe.
Made this yesterday for Christmas Eve meal. Tasted it - wow - it is the best salsa that I have made/tried!!!! Thanks
I knew from the start that you were going to make a really amazing salsa. I've been making a salsa close to this recipe for years but not using the chipoltle peppers or blender. I cannot wait to give your version a try. Thank you!!!
Your happiness and positivity is just wonderful and contagious! Plus this looks delicious, I’m about to make it!
Just found this yesterday...made the salsa today. Fantastic. Looking forward to trying more of your recipes.
OMG ! I just made this salsa and it came out awesome. Thank you so much sir, I’m gonna make this ALL the time. .❤
Great delivery, good sound, a little humor and what a simple recipe. I copy your technique and wow, this is some wholesome, healthy, delicious salsa; good with breakfast eggs, on sandwiches, tacos of course and to spice up spaghetti sauce, that's right, your salsas compliment almost anything. Great job, great video!.
I make this salsa every few weeks. It is absolutely awesome and better than any I’ve ever bought at a store or had at a restaurant! So easy to make too.
Seriously the best home salsa I've ever had. Thanks for sharing your amazing recipe!
Glad you liked it!!
Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks, Arnie. This makes it look so easy and makes me wonder why would i ever buy salsa from a store. You have a great personality that really shines through.. Cheers from Canada
I love salsa!! I have a whole bunch of tomatoes growing and definitely going to use this recipe!! Thank you so much!
This is the best salsa roja recipe I have ever made. Thank you Arnie!!
Made this today and it was amazing! Thank you Arnie!
I thoroughly enjoy all your videos (and those of your mom's as well) !! I have been meaning to thank You for
your recommendation of "The Usual" spice that I have been putting on everything, since I brought it home !!
It puts the finishing touch on everything I eat !!
Wow!! I made this tonight I followed the instructions verbatim! OMG BEST SALSA HANDS DOWN!!! I was eating right out of the blender it has an awesome smell and taste perfect just like I was eating in a Mexican restaurant Glad I found your channel! Can't wait to try more recipes 😋
Oh, boy, I’m in love ❤ with this salsa. Definitely a keeper! Thanks Arnie!
You sir, are a delight! I’m definitely gonna have to give this a try!
I make Pico all the time, but I never thought of using canned tomatoes to bulk out a salsa. Also, I always worried the blender would just go to mush. I appreciate the tips, this makes a delicious addition to quick weeknight meals!
I add some tomato paste to thicken it all up, can't go wrong with extra tomato!
I made salsa for the first time today. My wife and teenage son loved it. Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe with the world.
I love this salsa recipe! Ive made it 3 times and it is consistently great! No more store bought salsa for me, this is much better....thanks Arnie!
I remember making my own salsa with roasting all the veggies, and it took a while to get my ratios right. Oh man, it's one of those that I wish I had the time to make it every day.
I just bought all the ingredients... Gonna make it soon! I love salsa!
This is amazing. Made it yesterday and it's even better today! My new fav!
This looks delicious. I used to smoke all of the ingredients in my salsa, but my wife complained of the lack of fresh flavors. so now I skip smoking the tomatoes, and just hit the garlic and chillis with it. It's so balanced, so beautiful. And that cilantro, bringing it that taste that brings you all the way back in.
I like the idea of adding a chipolte in adobo. I add three chipolte peppers when I make a pot of black beans, along with some Trader Joe's vegetarian chorizo. (The vegetarian version makes the beans less oily.) This is some good eating. Thank you for posting your fresh salsa recipe. I may never buy jarred salsa every again.
So simple but so freaking good!!! I just added crushed garlic! ✌️❤️
Thank you ArnieTex.. I've been using this recipe for about a year.
This salsa is AMAZING!
I started blending a large 28 oz can of San Marco Chipotle in adobe, pouring in 13x9 pan, freezing.
Once frozen, cut into cubes, then vacuum seal and freeze..
When you need chipotles, just open and use a few cubes, then refreeze.
Made this added cilantro and a couple of garlic cloves. It's just delicious. Thanks for your recipe . Watch all your videos . And have bought your seasoning not only for me but for my daughter and my brother. They love them.
What a wonderful base recipe. I had to adapt a little bit; used Chipotle sauce (same brand you used) vs the peppers and threw in a large Poblano as my jalapenos were not fresh. That chipotle flavor really amplified everything beautifully.
Thank you for sharing. I can't wait to try 😋
Yessss
Edit: I’ve made this twice, both with little tweaks. It’s my staple recipe for salsa at home. No more store bought. THANK YOU
Thank you for your instruction. I made this today, mostly sticking to your recipe, but I roasted my tomatoes (fresh from my garden) and jalapenos (fresh from my garden) over mesquite. I used three jalapenos instead of Serrano and squeezed in juice from a lime. It came out so good. Thank you again.
I love salsa like this. I will eat that whole bowl easily. I like to put less salt just so I can feel good about eating the whole thing. It's a really healthy snack it's basically all vegetables.
The thing I love about salsa is you can add as much or as little as you want and it tastes great and different each time.
This is amazing. We have made this 3 times now and it is better than any store bought by far. We won't ever buy salsa again. Thank You for sharing!
Made it tonight Arnie and it's AMAZING!! THANKS!!!
I tried the recepe and it turned out very good. I added a couple things such a small habanero . Even my wife likes it .
I always add garlic, cilantro, and lime. And, depending upon who I’m making it for, about a tablespoon of olive oil along with sea salt. Absolutely delicious. There’s nothing like fresh, homemade salsa. And yes, we scoop!
hell yea, i roast my jalapenos and garlic in a pan with olive oil and then pour all of it, oil included, into the blender.
My next one I’m thinking I’m gonna mix it up a bit and use half roasted and half raw garlic…bet it makes a difference!
A pinch of freshly roasted cumin powder would give it another level too!
Throw in a tsp of cumin next time. Thank me later.
@@bitterbob30 Ha ha! Will do! 😁
It’s amazing how these simple ingredients taste soooo good!
Hello Stevie 👋…..How are you doing?
I love this recipe. I've made it a few times since I first came across this channel earlier this year. I love the flavor that the chipotle peppers bring to the rest of the salsa ingredients.
Great video brother keep up the great work and may GOD keep blessing you and your family Amen,,,,
It's a cold damp day here in Mid-Michigan but I'm feeling the heat. This Salsa Roja just might bring my heating bill down this coming Winter. My good wife is making in the kitchen preparing to can a batch. I'm putting this ____t on everything. Thank from a home sick Pearsal Texas native
Thank you, Brother. I can''t wait to try it. GREAT video!!
I made your recipe. It was very simple and to the point, and turned out amazing and like you said with the peppers like being a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get, well mine were hot as beep!
But it tasted amazing with a kick! You gave me the confidence to make salsa. really simple and easy, and it is absolutely delicious, I added minced garlic, sweet peppers, banana peppers to make it flavorful, but the basics of the salsa were perfect for your recipe.
Recently discovered your channel and have been blessed by it so far! So good to see a local native of the RGV doing BIG things on UA-cam! God bless you from McAllen, Texas! 🙏🏼
You remind me of my Abuelo.... good cook and great personality. Subscribed. Best salsa can be eaten off a spoon. Thank you for your content. And I could eat the entire bowl of salsa too.
I love this guy... Thank you so much fo sharing yoour recepie. A recepie is as good as a secret.
When my wife was pregnant she constantly wanted salsa like this, or pico de gallo. I'd make huuuuuuge batches and she'd take it with her to work for lunches and eat it with a spoon! I just discovered your channel and I really like your content. Great stuff!
Made this salsa today delicious!
