I've always sworn by Pace Chunky in Medium heat.
The regular is too runny.

Without knowing where in the world you are, the only brands one can
suggest are probably store bought.
Pace, La Victoria, etc.

i have never met a slasa i couldn't eat, but having said that i use
different ones for different things, i have tried some of the costco fresh
made, and all are excellent, Lee

I'm in Toronto Canada.
In response to Om, I'm looking for the runny stuff. La Sabroza made a
dipping sauce that was a little runnier than ketchup that was
fantastic with grilled chicken.
If any one who is reading this knows of a store in Toronto that has
stock, let me know.

I used to by the La Sabroza in the little 6oz, bell shaped
bottles. But about 5 years ago they turned salty as all hell. So
I didn't even notice they had a chipotle now. I've seen them on
the shelves recently, but don't pay much attention to them.

Their taquera sauce is OK, but I wouldn't call any jarred salsa "home
style."

How about chopping some tomatoes, onions and peppers? That's "home
style." I just picked tomatoes and peppers. I need to go buy onions.

Perhaps you have El Pato (the Duck) where you are. In a pinch, I have
purchased the big can of their Jalapeno salsa and doctored it with
garlic and cilantro. Run the hand blender through and dip away. Real
runny, though.

I wanted to say that, but I chickened out. No matter what salsa
you use, it pretty well takes over the taste of the real food. That
said, I'm not eating tacos without either sauce or salsa. And I
don't like unsauced burritos either.

"Green" onion? I use regular sweet onions. Going to make some
tonight, after I go buy an onion or two. We always omit the cilantro,
but if using it, it's important to use only the leaves and toss the
stems.

Nice Berlusconi ...um, I mean Mussolini quote. Why do I always get

If you melt enough cheese on 'em, they aren't too bad without salsa.

The nearly universal problem with commercial salsas is the damned sugar and
other sweeteners. What the hell is wrong with people??? Burritos are not
dessert!

You forgot the garlic, lime juice and cilantro. And a wee bit of sea salt.

Why pay dearly for jarred salsa with stuff in it you don't even need
when it's so easy to make your own.

Numbers 14, 15, 16 and 17 on the list were all taught to me by my very
good friend and former employee (who is one of THE best Mexican cooks
ever). Try them out. Much much better than anything you can buy in
the stores.

I have key limes and salt. We all would rather have it w/o cilantro.
Onions but no garlic, even though I have a few cloves on the counter.

# 14 has too much cilantro for my tastes, but is a pretty standard
formula, and you can always reduce the cilantro. #s 15 and 16 have
way too much cilantro, but same as # 14, you can reduce cilantro, but
otherwise these are just standard recipes, nothing special. # 17 is
just crappy, with pureed lettuce, canned tomatillos and "chicken
base," which is a junky ingredient. All four put together are not
worth the suggested $3 donation. No wonder the restaurant failed.

We mostly make our own, but Google on Salsa Casera and Salsa Ranchera. Easy
to make your own, too!

One thing about cilantro... I've found that people who say they don't like
it really don't notice it in moderation as long as you have added lime juice
or something else acidic and salt to temper it's flavor.

It's not a big deal to make your own fresh salsa. i make a pico de gallo
with diced tomato, chipped sweet onion, finely diced jalapeno peppers
and cilantro. Flavor it with some freshly squeezed lime juice and salt.
That's all the "salsa" anyone really needs.
