/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Salsa is at the center of my diet. I eat it every day sometimes with every meal. I use it as a condiment for burritos, rice and beans, fried pork chops, tacos, etc. After a few days, I'll puree it and use it to braise a cheap cut of beef until its fork tender. I eat it with my eggs. And, of course, I fry stale corn tortillas for chips and dip.

Tomatoes, limes, peppers, onion, cumin, and cilantro are easy to come by and cheap as dirt where I live. All you need is rice, beans, meat with lots of connective tissue, a carton of eggs, corn tortillas, a bottle of hot sauce, and maybe some bananas and oranges. You've got breakfast, lunch and dinner.
