recipe project

1/2 bunch cilantro leaves, chopped
1 chopped green bell pepper
1 red onion, chopped
3 tomatoes, chopped
1-2 minced, seeded jalapenos
dash of oregano
salt to taste
fresh ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup white vinegar (a little less)
1 tsp. sugar
juice of one lime

Combine last six ingredients and pour over chopped vegetables. Let marinate for several hours and serve with tortilla chips. Nice in the summer.

note: This recipe came from TR Evenson, hostess extraordinaire! It didn't sit well, however, with the Bartles and Jaymes bottled margaritas that I brought...don't want to talk about it.

2 ripe avocados, peeled & pitted
3 Tbsp peeled and diced tomatoes
1 small jalapeno, seeded and minced
2 Tbsp finely chopped onions
1 tsp minced garlic
juice of one lemon
juice of one lime
2 Tbsp finely chopped cilantro
hot sauce to taste
salt & pepper

Becky's notes:
I made this when we lived in Korea. It was a long drive to Lotte Mart to get the avocados (and they weren't cheap!), but it was always worth it. The best tortilla chips were the ones we made ourselves (cut up corn tortillas, fry in oil until crisp, lightly salt).
