I'm currently buying the whole grain tostios... :drool:

As for salsa, I've never tried to make black bean and corn.  But for regular:
3-4 tomatoes 
garlic
1 yellow onion (pulse in FP)

green onion
various peppers with seeds-you determine the flavor and hottness here-(pulse in FP; make it the just a little thicker than you want it)

lime juice
cayanne pepper chowder
onion chowder
cumin (this is key)
salt (to taste)
tsp sugar (also key)
cilantro  (pulse to corsely chop the cilantro and mix in the other stuff)

Allow to chill and flavors to marinate for a while, should keep for about 7-10 days, mabye longer if you have an elite fridge and keep it air tight.

3 jalapeños
half a small white onion
a clove of garlic (still in its peel)
3-4 tomatoes
cilantro (about 1/3 a bunch you would buy at the store)

Broil the tomatoes until the skin starts to turn black.  Remove from oven.

If you have a gas stove: using tongs, char the jalapeños until the skin blisters.
If you don't: toast the jalapeños on an iron skillet until the skin blisters.
No iron skillet?: Toast the jalapeños in a toaster over until the skin blisters.
No toaster oven?: Broil jalapeños in oven until the skin blisters.

on same iron skillet, toast the garlic on both side, until just soft enough to mash (do not let it burn or it will taste very bitter) [the paper on the garlic is important to prevent this).  Once toasted enough, remove skin (should just fall off)

Use a potato masher or possibly the bottom of a coffee mug, smash the garlic into the tomatoes, and then smash the jalapeños in as well.
(you can also use an immersion blender or food processor, but on lowest speed and only like 3 short pulses)

finely chop the onion and cilantro and add it to the tomato, garlic, jalapeño mixture (having let it cool for about 15 min).

salt to taste (will probably take more than you think)
done.

when all else fails when making salsa, think simple, simple, simple.

Do you include the peel in what you are mashing?  Are you dicing up the tomatoes and onion or just mashing?

oops, yeah remove the skin from the tomato (don't bother worrying about the jalapeño skin).

after toasting make sure you remove the peel from the garlic.

just dice the onions (but you only add them after mashing the tomatoes, jalapeños and garlic)

This. Recently tried to "upgrade" to HOT, because I've been all about spicy crap lately, and it just rough ridin' blew my doors off.

HOT salsa is the best on omelets, though. Will try Chingon's recipe (have gas stove  :pbj:)

how can you not like tomatillos?

i don't hate them necessarily.  good in enchilada/chilaquiles salsas.  good in guisados.  not a fan in table salsas.  too watery, too acidic.
