I have a confession to make. IntheBuff, or Buff as I like to call him, is a very good friend who loves nothing better than to spend the day in the kitchen cooking for his friends. Even though he lives way down South, every time he makes a batch of his special Matrix sauce (the best. pasta.sauce.ever) he sends me a couple of jars. Ditto split pea soup, red beans, and chicken noodle soup. They’re all amazing and leave me wanting more. So when Buff submits a recipe, it’s sure to be delicious. Here’s his salsa with bonus queso recipes.
Serious Salsa
1 14 ounce can of petite diced tomatoes
1 Jalapeno – chopped fine
1/2 vidalia onion – chopped
3-4 stalks fresh cilantro
1 TBSP chipotle powder
1 tsp lime juice
Mix well and chill
Serious Queso
“Make the salsa above add 1 pound Velveeta pepper jack cheese cut into cubes
Mix well and microwave for 6 minutes. Stir it at the three minute mark. And at the end. Make sure it’s smooth.
I generally double the salsa and make both for parties. And I serve Scoops.
BTW – my wife loves to pour the queso over pasta for a different type of mac and cheese.”
