Salsa Step By Step 4 Kids Recipes

SALSA

Steps:

• In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine tomatoes, onion, cilantro, garlic, lime juice, tomatillo, and salt to taste. Mix well. Add 1/2 of the jalapeno pepper, and taste. If you desire your salsa with more of a kick, add the remaining 1/2 jalapeno. If you are satisfied with the salsa's heat, do not add the remaining jalapeno pepper. Cover the salsa, and chill until ready to serve.

SALSA (STEP BY STEP 4 KIDS)

Steps:

• Check with a grownup and wash your hands before you begin.
• Put all the ingredients, except the jalapeño peppers, into the blender.
• Depending on what kind of jalapeño peppers you have, they could be mild or very spicy, so add only a few small pieces to the blender to start off with.
• Doing it like this will keep it from getting too spicy.
• You can always add more later if you want it spicier.
• Blend the ingredients on "chop" until the look mixed.
• If you like it chunkier, don't blend it too long.
• For smoother salsa, blend it longer.
• Remember, make sure the blender has stopped Test the salsa.
• If you want more of any ingredient, add it, then blend again briefly.
• Clean up the kitchen before you enjoy your salsa with corn chips, or on your breakfast taco.

BREAKFAST TACOS (STEP BY STEP 4 KIDS)

Steps:

• Check with a grownup and wash your hands before you begin.
• Make a few shallow cuts in each sausage link so they won't explode while cooking in the microwave.
• Place sausage links in a microwave-safe bowl.
• Microwave on high for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes.
• The amount of time it takes to heat the sausage all the way through may be different because microwaves don't all have the same amount of power.
• Use your oven mitts when you remove the sausage from the microwave, and let the bowl cool for 1 minute.
• Remove the sausages from the water using a fork, and dump the water out in your sink.
• Cut the sausages into bite-sized pieces, and put the sausage pieces in a small bowl.
• Crack the eggs into the microwave-safe bowl.
• Add salt, pepper and milk.
• Beat the eggs with a fork until the eggs and milk are mixed together.
• Microwave the eggs on high for 1 1/2 minutes.
• Use your oven mitts to take the bowl out of the microwave.
• Stir the eggs with a fork and microwave another 1 1/2 minutes.
• Remove the bowl with oven mitts, and stir the eggs again.
• If the eggs are still runny, microwave for another minute or so until they are cooked.
• The amount of time it takes to cook the eggs may be different because microwaves don't all have the same amount of power.
• Divide the sausage, eggs, and cheese into tortillas.
• Top with salsa.
• For a Texas twist, try guacamole, refried beans, or hash-browned potatoes in your tacos, too. (Just don't fill them so full that you can't take a bite!).
• Clean up the kitchen before you bite into your breakfast.

STEP BY STEP NAPKIN / SERVIETTE FOLDING

Steps:

• Take your square napkin, lay it totally flat before you, then fold it in half horizontally.
• Fold again, this time vertically so that you have before you a square a quarter the size of your origonal square.
• Only one of the 4 corners will have 4 open or loose edges. Rotate the square before you so that it looks like a diamond with the four open edges pointing to the bottom.
• We will call the points on your diamond shape East, West, North and the open egded bit, South.
• Make a horizontal fold between the East/West points, bringing the open ended South point up to meet, and on top of, the North point.You will now have a little triangle.
• Take the East point of the triangle and fold it in towards the middle. What was the sloping right hand edge of the triangle is now a vertical edge running down the center of the triangle and there is a little flap sticking out at the bottom.
• Take the West point and fold it into the center the same as you did with the previous East edge, the two vertical lines should meet in the middle, and you will have a diamond shape that has two long sides at the top and two short sides (the two little flaps) at the bottom.
• Pick up your diamond shape and fold the two little flap bits at the bottom completely under, so that they only show on the back of the triangle. The front will now look like a steep triangle with a vertical slit down the middle.
• We will call the points of this triangle East, West and North. With the flaps still folded to the back of the tiangle, fold the East and West points backwards until they meet, and gently crease the two folds that form and meet at the North point.
• The slit in the front will have opened and the 4 open points of the napkin will be hidden in layers inside. Pull very gently on them one by one and they will stand up like the sails of a boat. Some people I know call this napkin a boat, some a flower and some the Sydney Opera House.I don't know its' offical name but set onto a plate or into an empty wine glass, this a very elegant addition to a classy table setting.
