Tomato-Mango Salsa

Spicing Up Holiday Parties

(NAPSA) – Adding an authentic Mexican twist to the traditional holiday menu and drink list can add some spice to this year’s festivities.

Party experts suggest serving up dishes and cocktails that add distinctive flair and flavor to your get-togethers.

‘In Mexico, the holidays, or las fiestas, are times of celebration, spirit and sharing, marked by bold tastes and flavors,’ explains chef Roberto Santibanez.

He offers these two recipes to help holiday partygoers capture that spirit. They’re both made with Tequila Cazadores(r) Reposado. Made from 100 percent blue agave, the spirit has a smooth, authentic flavor that can be used in a variety of cocktail and food recipes or can be enjoyed on its own.

• 3 Tbsp. Tequila Cazadores Reposado
• 2 tsp. sugar to taste (depending on sweetness of mango)
• 1 lb. tomatoes cored

Instructions

• Toss together mango, tequila and sugar in a bowl and let macerate for one hour.

Peel the tomatoes and chop coarsely, retaining the seeds and juices. Stir onion, lime juice, habanero and salt with tomatoes and taste to be sure that salt level is just right. Stir in mango mixture and cilantro just before serving.
