Directions
Rustic Roasted Tomato Salsa (Salsa De Molcajete), I love this salsa for breakfast in Spicy Cilantro Scrambled Eggs or (for dinner) in Salmon in Luxurious Green Sesame Pipian My housekeeper in Mexico gave me this recipe and I have used it ever since , Wow!!!, I am impressed, and that is saying something since I am very particular about salsas used serrano peppers and absolutely love it that way I think next time I might try some fresh red chilies just to see how it compares
