AZCentral.com, the online presence of The Arizona Republic newspaper, has one of the best cooking sections of any newspaper that I have found.

If you like Mexican food and southwest cooking, check out their Mexican Food Guide. Whether you just want to make your own salsa or plan a whole meal you are likely to find something tempting here. There’s even a food glossary to explain Mexican food terms and streaming videos showing how to make tortillas and tamales.

From the salsa section:

Spicy Sweet Salsa

1 can (28 ounces) whole tomatoes, chopped, with their juice
1/2 bunch cilantro, stems removed, chopped fine
Juice of 2 limes
2 dashes garlic salt
1 to 2 dashes cracked black pepper
1 jar (24 ounces) mild picante sauce
2 cans (4 ounces each) diced green chiles, undrained
2 bunches green onions, chopped
1 cup sugar

In an extra-large mixing bowl, mix all ingredients until well blended. Refrigerate overnight in a glass container. Serve with tortilla chips (especially good with lime-flavored ones).

Makes about 16 cups, or 64 servings.
