Spicy Streets

My favorite food blog, Food 52, has monthly competitions. The category this month was "Your Best Street Food." I thought to myself "Arden, let's give it a try!" With a little researching and some input from the family kitchen I came up with this...

Although they look scrumptious, I pulled an "Arden," got too excited when I saw the category and failed to read the "place your votes" subtitle. The contest had ended last week! Nevertheless, we passed the log, boat, whatever around and judged it for ourselves. It was an overwhelming win.

For the salsa verde:

1 jalapeños
2 green or unripened tomatoes
Bunch of parsley
Bunch of cilantro
Limes
Cayenne pepper
2 avocado

For the boat, log, whatever:

6 jalapeños (depending on how many boat, log, whatevers you want)
Chorizo
Cotija cheese

Steps:

Cut the tomatoes in half and grate each half into a small bowl. Add the avocado, chopped parsley and cilantro. Chop and seed one jalapeño, add it to the mix. Squeeze in one lime and cover the top layer of the salsa with cayenne pepper. Grill the Chorizo on medium-high rotating for about 5 minutes. Cut the jalapeños in half and place them on the grill for about 4-5 minutes. Once the chorizo and the peppers are done, cut the chorizo to your liking (chopped, cubed..) and place inside the jalapeño boat, log, whatever. Top it off with the salsa verde and the cotija cheese.

Dig in!
