How do you make salsa "Chile"? Without tomatoes lol?

Question

I was wondering if anyone had any recipes to make Salsa, like for tacos etc. Without tomatoes?

Because of the salmonella scare, the stores around me don't carry tomatoes, so I wanted to know if anyone had a recipe for chile (salsa) for mexican food without using tomatoes.

Thank you all in advance

Answer 1

Salsa Verde with tomatillos.

Remove husks and rinse well. Depending on how spicy you like your chili will be how many you use (mas o menos).

Place in small pot with two large fresh jalapenos and a cube of fresh garlic.

Boil until tomatillos are soft (they will turn a light green color).

Blend in blender with a dash of salt and fresh slice onion.

Eat warm for tacos, right out the blender.

Answer 4

You can use sun-dried tomatoes in the bags of dried foods, although the tomato scare is over with, no one, has kept any tomatoes pertaining to the shipments of tomatoes that were found to have salmonella.  I would stop worrying now.
