Anything goes salsa & homemade tortilla chips
Found a problem: Suggest an editWe sometimes think that if a tomatoes’ gone too squishy, or an onion has started sprouting or a wrap has gone stale, we have to throw it away… But we don’t! We can turn it into tasty dip, with homemade crisps to dip in it.
Ingredients
For the salsa
- 3 tomatoes wit htops cut off – you can even make this with tinned tomatoes
- 1 onion and colour will do but red is tastier
- 1 large bulb of garlic, peeled
