When my husband and I first started dating we realized that we had a lot of things in common, but perhaps the most important was a shared love of The Tortilla Factory. It was an institution in the town where we grew up and the best part was the salsa. There is no other like it and when the restaurant closed down this past year we were devastated. Luckily my sister stumbled across this recipe on Tastebook. We were skeptical at best but I've since made it (several times) and it's fantastic. I've modified the original recipe and little bit and this one has given us the best results.
For all you that have been missing Tortilla Factory salsa...make this and thank me later.
Tortilla Factory Salsa
1 28 oz. can crushed tomatoes (I've had the best results with Contanadina)
1 small/medium onion chopped
6 oz. cilantro
3 cloves of garlic
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 Tbsp. fresh ground black pepper
1 Tbsp. crushed red pepper flakes
2 tsp. kosher salt
2 tsp. Mexican oregano
I just throw everything in my food processor and let it run for a couple of minutes. It's best chilled and even better after it's been sitting in the refrigerator for a day. For an even better faux Tortilla Factory experience, head on over to Costco and pick up some Mission Tortilla chips.
