cooking and drinking is one of my favorite past times. cooking by theme is challenging and way more fun! so when cinco de mayo rolled around, i was a little more than excited...and not always prepared. matt and i made a really good salsa, but it probably should have been made days prior. the consistancy was a little too watery for good dipping salsa. a few days to sit with a touch of vinegar, i think, would have probably done the trick. naturally tequila was involved and we left salsa for the last minute. it turned out very fragrant and flavorful with a neat kick to properly burn your tongue. the chips we made worked out really well, and were easy to make, and took no time at all. hmm..sprinkle a little of that hot habanero cheddar on them before baking, and they're a snack on their own.

| first you start with your proper ingredients. :) |
 |
| dice the garlic |
 |
| i often start this process by mashing the garlic clove with the flat end of the blade |
 |
| chop up a white onion |
 | |
| chop up that cucumber and start mixing |
 |
| we used a few different kinds of tomatoes |
 |
| add some corn! |
 | |
| too much cilantro can be overpowering. |
for the "chips" we just sliced up some corn tortillas, swept them with olive oil, sprinkled some seasonings and baked them. but be careful, they can burn really quickly!
