So you have an Anaheim chile or 2 from the garden, as well as onions, tomatoes and lemons or limes. Whatever will you do!? Well, since you don’t have enough Anaheims to make chile rellenos for everybody (and they’re on the small side, anyway), make salsa!

Chop up the chiles, onions and tomatoes, put them in a bowl. Chop them as fine or coarse as you like.

Squeeze lemon or lime juice into the mix. I’m using Key limes in this picture…roomie had some left over…long story…

If you want the background juice more substantial, take some of the salsa out with some of the juice and zap it in the blender. This’ll give it a bit more body, but isn’t necessary.

Season with oregano, cilantro, garlic or whatever you like.

Now it’s ready for whatever Mexican food you want. Tacos, tostadas, enchiladas, chips, whatever.

Oh, you grew other chiles? Use those. I’m figuring you grow what you like.
