To honor the Tampa Taco Bus for it's new found fame on the Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives I thought I would share my go-to salsa recipe I created after enjoying their Butternut Square Tostada.
I serve this salsa warm, with tortilla chips, pitas, or some times, I just eat it plain. I love to serve it with my homemade guacamole as a meal (sangria or margaritas optional!).
1 large butternut squash (split, de-seed and roast in the oven until tender)
1-2 large tomatoes (de-seeded and chopped. Easier? Use a can of low sodium petite diced tomatoes)
1/2 red onion (chopped)
2-3 cloves of garlic (minced for more punch, sliced if you like a milder garlic flavor)
fresh cilantro (chopped and to taste...some people hate cilantro, so leave it out if you'd like)
2 shallots (chopped)
1 hot pepper (your choice...habanero? scotch bonnet? de-seeded for less heat)
fresh ground sea salt (to taste)
healthy dose of cotija cheese (or shredded queso blanco)
Scrap inside of roasted squash (while still hot) into bowl. Add in other ingredients and mix together (but leaving chunky). Top with cotija cheese.
Beautiful color, healthy y tambien, muy rica!
Enjoy!

I can vouch for how good this is!
