Chef's notes
My salsa-making game is pretty loose. I like to just eyeball it and taste and adjust as I go.
Corn Salsa:
Toss some corn kernels in a pan and sauté until roasty-looking. Mix with black beans, jalapeño, salt, lime juice, cilantro.
Pico de Gallo:
Toss chopped tomatoes with chopped onion, salt, lime juice, and cilantro.
Guacamole:
Toss mashed avocados with chopped onion, salt, lime juice, and cilantro.
