A great Chunky Chili Style Salsa for your tacos, burritos or with chips! It doesn't get much better than this! Share with family & friends.
It’s really hard to avoid salsa when you live in Southern California. And you really don’t want to avoid this Chunky Chili Style Salsa recipe. All Mexican restaurants, authentic or fast-food serve salsa. Some are chunky (Pico de Gallo) while others are not. Some are spicy (Spicy Salsa), others are not. Some are red, while others are not. Some are fruity (Spicy Apple Salsa) while others are not.
What I really like about this Chunky Chili Style Salsa is that it has black beans in it (hence the chili-style reference). That one ingredient really makes a difference in this salsa.
This Chunky Chili Style Salsa recipe yields about 6 pints. I guess if you are having a big party it would be fine but if needed, you can easily preserve them in mason jars using the method I include below.
Wear disposable gloves when handling Hot Peppers.
The capsaicin in hot peppers is what makes peppers hot. If you handle hot peppers gloveless, it’s a guarantee that you’re in for a nasty case of chili burn, both on your fingers and anywhere you rub. Like your face. Ouch!
Even if you wear disposable gloves, be careful about what you touch. The gloves are going to protect your fingers, but touching any part of your body with the gloves after you’ve handled hot peppers can lead to severe chili burn. Resist the temptation to rub your eyes. Wait until you’ve removed your gloves and washed your hands thoroughly with soap.
How to make Chunky Chili Style Salsa.
In a large pot, combine all ingredients making sure everything is mixed really well.
Bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. Simmer uncovered for approximately 20 minutes. Make sure to stir occasionally so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pot. Remove from heat.
Using a ladle, fill sterilized pint-sized mason jars leaving about 1/2 inch of headspace. Wipe jar rims, place lids on jar and screw on bands finger tight.
Place jars in a large pot of boiling water for 20 minutes. Move jars to a cooling rack and let cool until the lids “pop”.
