Triple Onion Salsa


I needed a quick dinner the other night between coming home from work and going out for the evening; so I relied upon frozen Morningstar Farms Spicy Black Bean Burger patties and glamourized them a bit with toppings.

A quick saute of some simple and inexpensive ingredients, and voila! A nutritious, substantial dinner magically appeared before my hungry eyes. I topped the burger with a homemade salsa, lots of grated cheese (simply because there's no reason to be stingy with cheese!), and some sour cream. Corn chips would have made a perfect side dish if I'd had any ....

Triple Onion Salsa

1 tablespoon oil
1 small red onion, chopped
1 small yellow onion, chopped
3 scallions, chopped
pinch of red pepper flakes
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon taco seasoning
1 cup diced tomatoes with chilis

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add all of the onions, the red pepper flakes and the salt; cook until translucent. Add the chili powder, taco seasoning and tomatoes; cook until liquid has evaporated, stirring occasionally. Place on top of vegetarian or meat burgers, chicken, pork ... whatever strikes your fancy!

  6. That looks DELISH! There are a few items from Morningstar Farms that I REALLY like...esp. their fake bacon! :) I put it in a pan with a teeny spray of oil, and then sprinkle the tiniest amount of kosher salt over it, and fry it til it's crispy. Yum!
    I am going to give your salsa a try this weekend...thanks! :)
