W W POINTS VALUE: Who knows?

Note: This recipe is a dish I learned at the Cocina Cosmopolita Culinary School in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. Making salsa is a very simple thing to do and this salsa goes with anything: chips, beef, chicken, pork, fish, etc. I'm not much of a beer drinker but the taste of Mexican dark beer in the salsa added a nice taste. You can find dried chilies in the Latin section of you local grocery store and they add a wonderful heat  to the salsa. This salsa is better that the jarred salsa you buy in the grocery store. This salsa is also Iron Chef worthy. Bobby Flay, can you hear me know?
