I love making this Jalapeno Peach Salsa it’s easy, versatile and takes no special effort at all. You can have it ready to serve in less than 10 minutes time.
Basically all you are going to need is some fresh peaches, fresh jalapenos along with a chopped onion, orange pepper, cilantro and salt to taste.
This recipe has recently become very popular on this blog. As it was featured over on onebitevegan.com some months back.
This salsa is on that list of my favorite homemade salsas and cannot be found in the stores.
So if you love salsa as much as me, then you are going to want to give this one a try!
WHAT DOES PEACH SALSA GO WITH
Not only does it go so well paired with your favorite nachos; it also goes well when paired alongside chicken and pork dishes.
So whenever I’m making this I will make a big enough batch, so that I can use it in a few different ways.
You will find an awesome recipe below that feature this salsa, which you’re sure to love!
A sweet and spicy salsa that you can’t go wrong with!
HOW TO MAKE PEACH SALSA
I like to add all my ingredients to a small food processor, which will chop it all together in a jiffy.
Just make sure it’s set to slow chop as your not wanting a puree.
However if you don’t have a food processor, then feel free to use a knife just make sure you are chopping it all up as small as possible.
I also like to double up this recipe as it saves great in the fridge for the very next day. In which I will make either some pork chops or grilled chicken and serve this salsa right alongside.
Both recipes are listed below, I hope you give one of them a try!
Note: You can omit the Jalapeno sauce which is found in bottled Jalapenos if desired.

HOW TO SEASON TURKEY TACOS
You will start by searing the Ground Turkey in a non stick frying pan, then once it has lightly browned.

Then lastly 3 tbsp of Jalapeno Juice from either the can of the Jalapenos or jar. This adds an extra hint of spice and makes the meat very juicy!

Basically all you are doing is sauteing the Ground Turkey in a non stick pan along with the taco seasoning till browned.

Chili is best made in the Instant pot if you ask me, that is because the pressure cooking method cooks the beans well making them super soft and delicious.

And you can always make this on the stove-top as well or slow cooker but that will take a longer, so depending on what you have going on for the day.
The instant pot method may be more up your alley.

I am obsessed with fish tacos and have them every single week.
You can find a few fish taco recipes on this website, each one slightly different than the other.
The main differences is in the spices that are used for the fish as well as the slaw that is served alongside or on top.
Whichever you prefer, I like to top my fish with a little slaw and then also have some on the side as a salad.

Shrimp too is also a popular option.

Meanwhile, mix your spices in a small bowl and set aside.
Bring it to medium heat and when it starts bubbling add in the fish.
Cook for 4 minutes over medium heat and season with your seasoning mix.
Toss the fish and add the remaining 1 tbsp of oil to the pan, make sure it distributes evenly to cook the fish on the opposite side.
Season lightly again and cook till the fish is no longer transparent yet flaky.
Toss over once more and cook for one more minutes then remove from the heat.
Also, don’t forget to squeeze some fresh lime juice over top the fish at the end.
This really helps the flavors to pop!
