Summer Salsa

the tastiest summery salsa! I highly recommend hitting up your local farmers market for as many ingredients as you can find - makes all the difference :)

assembly:

1. begin by dicing up your tomatoes, bell peppers, and jalapeños roughly the same size. the onion should be diced a bit smaller.

2. mince the garlic

3. drain and rinse the black beans

4. toss everything in a bowl

5. finely chop up the cilantro, try out best to remove the stems (if you are one of those people that hate cilantro them omit!)

6. squeeze in the lime

7. season with regular salt and garlic salt

8. I tend to under season at first because as it chills in the fridge it’ll get all tasty, but if you take it out of the fridge later and its bland then by all means please add some salt!!

9. ENJOY! love this with hint of lime chips!!

whatcha need:

• 2 large or 3 medium tomatoes

• 1 large or 2 medium or a handful of baby bell peppers

• 1/2 large or 1 little purple onion

• 1 glove of garlic

• 1, 2, or 10(?) jalapeños

• 1 can of black beans

• 1 bundle of cilantro

• 1 healthy squirt of lime juice

• salt to taste

• garlic salt to taste

• ** best served with hint of lime chips

Cream Cheese Wontons

you’ll never believe how easy it is to actually make wontons…..

Ingredients:

• cast iron skillet
  

• canola oil
  

• cream cheese (sub vegan cream cheese)
  

• wonton wrappers (find these by the vegan/vegetarian section at Kroger)
  

• 1 egg (sub water if vegan)

Whatcha do:

1. Begin by pouring about 1/4 in of oil into your cast iron skillet, its going to take a second to heat up so go ahead and get that going on medium-high heat.

2. On a clean work space (probably use a cutting board) lay out a couple of your wonton wrappers. Plop a little glob of cream cheese in the center of each (about 1/2 tablespoon). With your clean fingers or with a cooking brush, line two of the edges with egg or water. Fold in half (so that its a triangle) then meet the two corners together with a little more egg or water.

3. Tip** use the bottom of a wooden spoon to see if your oil is hot enough. If you stick in the oil and bubbles appear around it, you’re ready to go.

4. Gently (pls don’t burn yourself) place a couple wontons into the oil, fry until each sides is a pretty golden brown. About 30 seconds each side.

5. When you remove them from heat, place them on a paper towel lined plate to absorb any excess oil.

6. Repeat until either you’re full or you run out of an ingredient.
