For pico, I always do the trick where you cut the onion first so you can get in the bowl with the lime juice to "cook" out some of the bite while you prep the rest.

I have to say, you have a great personality for long form YouTube videos. Sometimes going from shorts to long form doesn’t always work for some people, but I actually prefer your long form videos. Keep the awesome work!

I think its important to taste the jalapeno - I've just personally seen so much variation in spiciness from them. Sometimes (often) they are basically the spice level of a bell pepper. But every now and again you get a nuclear one.

You killed the long form stuff my guy! Also having three salsas in one video was amazing, thanks for all that you work on for us.

I tried the roasted salaa recipe exacrly as you described and it is hands down the best salsa I have ever tasted! Thank you for this!

As someone who has the “cilantro tastes like soap” gene, I’ve found if I put a whole sprig in my salsas, or whatever should have cilantro in it, and don’t chop it up and add it I get the benefit of the cilantro without the soap taste because I’m not eating the cilantro. Just a trick for those who like me have the gene.

I always wondered why restaurant salsa roja was so addicting but I couldn’t replicate it at home. It was missing the char! (And chicken bouillon) So excited to try this!

This is the first or your videos that I have watched. I subscribed in the first ten minutes. Now I’ll be binge watching for ……… well, however long it takes to finish watching all of your videos.

My family's secret was including a small can of diced tomatoes. Fresh ingredients are great, but their taste can vary. Canned tomatoes add a bit of consistency to the salsa so you get great results, every time.

Tomatillos and tomatoes both are part of the nightshade family and are the fruits of their respective plants. But culinarily they are both generally treated as vegetables. So call it a fruit or vegetable, you'll be correct by one definition or another. But despite looking similar to tomatoes (once dehusked), tomatillos are actually a closer relative to the gooseberry. Tasty lil guys.
