I am trying to make make taqueria/restaurant quality chips and salsa. My first batch didn’t turn out so great. It was my first time.
I’ve been doing a lot of reading and a lot of people on this sub say restaurants use canned tomatoes and tomatillos. After my first batch I can kinda see that. I used fresh everything and boiled my ingredients. Maybe I should’ve put them in a pan or the oven. But the salsa itself is very light in color and tastes like fresh tomato/tomatillo puree.
I used:
3 large tomatoes
8 tomatillos
5-6 cloves of garlic
1 onion
3 arbols (because I didn’t know how spicy it would be)
Next time around I am definitely going to use canned tomatoes and more peppers but I want to know if it’s better to just use fresh tomatillos or not.
