I was simply not impressed. The beer almost ruined the flavor for me and there was NO spicy to this salsa.

its best if you take out the seeds and membranes from the tomatoes first. and start roasting the peppers with out adding the beer. then once you have removed a good amount of the liquid from the tomatoes then add the beer. i also reduced the amount of jalapenos. before blending let it cool a bit to room temp and remove the liquid or as much as possible then when you use the food processor just pulse a few times as to leave it still chunky adding only as much of the liquid as you need to keep it from clumping. also add the onion, garlic, salt, and i also added some time and coriander at this stage. taste and add salt and lime as needed. comes out pretty good. a friend ate a whole batch with a spoon while i was making dinner. causing me to have to go out and buy salsa. guess it was good.

i agree with the rest of the reviews; although the beer is a good idea, simmering the tomatoes and peppers loses their flavor. i added half an onion, x4 the garlic, and added 10 chiles tepin, but the blender made it very soupy...

Unless you added extra peppers, tomatoes, garlic it was pretty boring. Might as well just buy some from the store and water it down...same boring taste.

This was really good. My mom made salsa that tasted exactly like this when I was little. Her method was a little less time consuming/labor intensive. The cleaning of the jalapenos burned my eyes. Never the less, it's worth it, i love it!

This was good..The BIGGEST tip (told to me by my hispanic neighbor) is to only boil the ingredients for about 6-8 minutes or you loose the flavor. I also though it was very bland and made a few changes. I tripled the garlic, used tomatillos and not tomoatoes, and 1 cube of chicken bullion before boiling the ingredints. When it was time to blend the ingredients together, I added 4 oz of diced tomatos & 4 oz green chilies, 1t cumin and about 1/3 bunch of cilantro and blended the ingredients together and then chilled. It came out very good!

Giving this one a "3" for one reason that others have noted: Simmering the tomatoes & peppers sucks the flavor out of them. I used 7 jalapenos and 3 serrano peppers and boiled them in the beer (I made sure to test a few of them first to make sure the Corona was good) and added no water. I left the seeds of 5 peppers in the sauce. The heat was perfect but the sauce didn't have much flavor. Next time I'm going to roast the peppers and will update.

Great recipe; I couldn't find Jalapenos at my local store, so I used serrano chiles and didn't cook with the tomatoes too long. Also added Garlic Salt and a touch of Garlic Pepper, with a little garlic powder (I LOVE garlic!). I had my doubts, but it out wonderfully! Dee-lish - easy to adjust for supplies on hand. Thanks!

Sorry...I had such high hopes for this recipe. I make salsa a lot so I wanted to try this one. The boiling of the jalepenos takes the flavor and spice out of the entire sauce. It was really bland, even after many additions of red pepper flakes.

I will say that this recipe is different from the normal salsa that I usually make, but it is delicious. I added all ten jalapeno peppers, but I only added the seeds of five of them. I also added some cilantro, a little more garlic than it called for, and the juice from half of a lime. We ate it with our beef and bean chimichangas last night for dinner and it was so yummy. Will be making again for sure. Thanks for the recipe.

This is the best salsa I have ever made! It tastes like the kind you get in Mexican Restaurants. Thank you for sharing this recipe!! I did add cilantro and backed off the peppers. Everyone raves about the salsa! I have also started to add one small can of tomato paste to the salsa to thicken it up.
