Summer is the best season to eat tomatoes. Tomatoes are rich in VC, B vitamins and carotene. More importantly, after tomatoes are cooked, the lycopene inside will become very easily absorbed by the body, and lycopene has a good anti-cancer effect. However, in Chinese food, the simple tomato recipe has not changed much except for scrambled eggs with tomatoes and stewed beef brisket with tomatoes. This Salsa sauce is a common way to eat tomatoes in Mexico, the hometown of tomatoes. Salsa sauce can be served with Taco or dipped in corn chips. Of course, for me as a Chinese, the best food is of course the pancakes with sauced beef, lettuce, bell peppers and Salsa sauce! If you add a spoonful of sour cream inside, it will be the icing on the cake! "

1. Wash the tomatoes and make a cross on the top. Put it into a clean container, pour in boiling water (the amount of boiling water should be overwhelmed by the top of the tomatoes), soak for about 1 minute. Pour out the water and rinse with cold water. At this time, it is easy to remove the skin of tomatoes. After peeling, cut the tomatoes into small cubes.

2. After the nonstick pan is heated, add olive oil and pour all the diced tomatoes into the pan. After stir-frying, cover the pot, turn to medium heat, and simmer until the tomatoes are all soft.

3. When boiling the tomatoes, cut the Thai chili into thin slices (do not remove the seeds of the chili). When cutting peppers, in order to prevent hot hands, wear disposable gloves and never touch your face or eyes!

4. Add chopped onion, garlic and pepper to the boiled tomatoes, and stir-fry until the juice of the tomatoes is 70% dry.

5. Add salt, Basil and Xinjiang cumin. Stir fry until the tomato juice is dry.

6. Turn off the heat, add apple cider vinegar and coriander leaves. After stirring well, let it cool before use.

Tips:
1) The real Salsa should use Jalapeno pepper, but I have never seen this kind of pepper in China, so I used Thai pepper or Chaotian pepper instead. I think it tastes good too!

2) When eating the burrito, just add a small spoonful of salsa sauce. It is best with burritos, sauce beef, lettuce and bell peppers. It's so delicious!
