i am not a fan of any food in the mexican realm. salsa is the one exception- as long as it is garden fresh. my cilantro and parley is growing well. should have a bumper crop of romas this yr- although we still have a way to go. my jalapenos, bells, red bells and cayennes are doing good so far. i plan to be making plenty of this in mid July

I wish I could find tomatillo plants nearby. I'd grow a whole garden of them just so I could make tomatillo salsa.

The only thing I'd do to Alton Brown's recipe is work some chipotles in there since I love them so much. And habanero, because I love the heat

I go to the International Markets (Cordova or Winchester) to get them since they never don't. But I'd like to grow them

What I do know is you got skilz in smoking pork bellies. I'd love to buy another or two should you be open to such.

Sounds like a really good plan. I've slacked in the bacon-making department. I need to reach out and get another one again.

Just realized I forgot to comment. This is almost my exact recipe. I use less garlic and cayenne pepper instead of ancho chile's. But you can never have enough salsa, Pico or Guacamole. I'll post that one also.
