Why I Love This Recipe

From the Sauce du Jour Kitchen

For the Tex-Mex Cooking Class -115

Make this Salsa the day before you want to serve it because it gets better with time. It's pretty to look at and bursting with flavor.


Ingredients You'll Need

1 cup wine – for the cook
1 cup sugar
2 Tablespoons water
1/2 cup canola oil
3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 can of Pinto beans (or black-eyed peas)
1 can of black beans
1 (4 oz). jar of chopped pimentos
1 can of white corn
1 cup poblano (or green pepper) diced
1 cup onion, diced
1 large or 2 medium avocados, chopped
1 cup celery, diced
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
Tortilla shells
Garlic Salt and Ancho chile powder
Oil for frying


TORTILLA CHIPS WITH ANCHO DUST

Directions
