Let me know if you'd like to try the tortilla or salsa recipes in a few weeks when you hit Phase 2!

Please send them! I'm planning to make an Enchilada Casserole ( like a Mexican Lasagna) while we're at the reunion, so I'll need both recipes!

Oh, and here's the salsa recipe, though when I made it, I fudged the amounts quite a bit...just used the basic ingredient list. But it came out good!

Ingredients
1 jalapeno (I prefer Serrano chiles) chile, seeds removed, chopped fine (wear gloves)
6 medium tomatoes chopped into 1/4-inch chunks
1 medium red onion chopped
3 green onions sliced thin with green tops included
1/8 cup loosely-packed fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon cumin powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon oregano, crushed between palms
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 4-ounce can chopped mild green chiles
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
salt and pepper to taste 


Instructions
Mix all ingredients together. Let sit overnight to let flavors blend. Serve with crisp tortilla chips as dip or serve as a condiment with other dishes. 
Store any leftover salsa in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. 

Yield: about 6 cups
