Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I make these salsas spicier or milder?

Yes, you can adjust the spiciness by altering the number of serrano peppers.

To make the salsas milder, reduce the number of peppers or remove the seeds.

For a spicier kick, add more peppers or include some of the seeds.

How long do these salsas last in the refrigerator?

These salsas can last up to 5-7 days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

The avocado salsa may oxidize and change color faster, so it’s best consumed within 2-3 days.

Can I freeze these salsas?

The red and green salsas freeze well for up to 3 months.

However, the avocado salsa doesn’t freeze as well due to the avocado’s texture, which can become watery when thawed.

What can I serve these salsas with?

These salsas are versatile and can be served with tortilla chips, tacos, grilled meats, eggs, and as a topping for various Mexican dishes.

Can I use a food processor instead of a blender?

Yes, a food processor can be used instead of a blender.

It might result in a slightly chunkier texture, which can be adjusted by processing for a longer or shorter time.

Is it necessary to toast the tomatoes and peppers for the red salsa?

Toasting the tomatoes and peppers enhances their flavor, adding a smoky depth to the salsa.

While not strictly necessary, it’s highly recommended for the best taste.

Can I use another type of pepper instead of serrano?

Yes, you can substitute jalapeño peppers for serrano peppers for a milder flavor, or habanero peppers for a much spicier salsa.

Is the chicken bouillon necessary?

The chicken bouillon adds an extra depth of flavor, but you can omit it if you prefer.

You might need to add a bit more salt to compensate.

Can I make these salsas ahead of time for a party?

Yes, you can prepare these salsas a day or two ahead of time.

Just store them in the refrigerator and give them a stir before serving.

What can I do if my salsa is too watery?

If your salsa turns out too watery, you can blend it a bit more to thicken it or strain some of the excess liquid.

For the avocado salsa, try adding more avocado to achieve a thicker consistency.
