Salsa Barracha

Salsa Borracha, a.k.a. drunk salsa-is fabulous with Tacos Asada. Let me just point out that it pisses me off when my computers spell check tells me that Spanish words do not exist. Anyways, i had the pleasure of learning a few salsa recipes from a coworker's brother who is Hispanic. I was a little edgy about posting the recipe out of respect and have tweaked it a little, and also realized how many similar salsa borracha recipes there are across the internet.

It's all very simple.
4 romas
1 small yellow onion
4 jalapenos
Handful of cilantro
cumin
T lime juice
Mexican beer (1 cup of so)

Cut the tops off the jalapenos and tomatoes and place them in a skillet with half a cup of water. Add half of the yellow onion and cook on medium until everything is mostly tender. Drain most of the water out (reserving about 1/4 cup), and put all into a food processor. Add about 3/4 of the cilantro, lime, tsp cumin, salt, and pepper. Pulse the ingredients and slowly add the Mexican beer to consistency (you don't want it too watered down). If the color is pale you might need more cilantro, or if the taste is too bland more jalapenos. Take the rest of the cilantro and onion and chop it, using it as a garnish for the salsa.
