Intro of the project: Blazin' Salsa was designed to be more of a taco and dip salsa. But it also is a good salsa for more foods like poultry. Blazin' Salsa has a rich and complex flavor with a lot fo different ingredients that make every food with it tastier. I chose to do this project because I like to cook and I wanted to cook something that I haven't done, so I make salsa to learn a new skill.

Ingredients:

-2 tomatoes

-5 green tomatoes

-2 jalapeños

-3 garlic teeth

-1/4 of an onion

-Cilantro

-Salt

- 500ml of water

-Olive oil spray
