Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

In a medium saucepan, combine the tomatoes and jalapeño peppers. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

Pour in the Mexican beer and enough water to just cover the tomatoes and jalapeños. (2 minutes)

03

Step
20 mins

Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook until the tomatoes and jalapeños are softened, about 15-20 minutes. (20 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Remove from heat and let cool slightly (5 minutes).

05

Step
3 mins

Transfer the cooked tomatoes and jalapeños to a blender or food processor. Add the garlic and onion. (3 minutes)

06

Step
5 mins

Pulse until well blended, adding some of the cooking liquid gradually to achieve your desired consistency. Be cautious not to over-blend; a slightly chunky texture is desirable. (5 minutes)

07

Step
2 mins

Taste and season generously with salt. Adjust seasonings to your preference. (2 minutes)

For a milder salsa, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño peppers before cooking.
Use caution when blending hot liquids. Start with the blender on a low setting and vent the lid to prevent splattering.
Salsa Borracha is best served fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will meld and intensify over time.
Experiment with different types of Mexican beer to find your favorite flavor profile. Darker beers will impart a richer, maltier flavor to the salsa.
For an extra layer of flavor, grill the tomatoes, jalapeños, and onion before simmering. This will add a smoky char to the salsa.

    I found it a little too spicy with all the jalapeños, so I removed the seeds. It was perfect after that.
