Notes
Salsa will keep in the refrigerator for several days, so you can double the recipe to enjoy with your favorite Mexican or Tex-Mex dishes or as a snack with your favorite tortilla chips.
- Love tang? Use extra lime!
- Not a spice fan? Remove the seeds from the jalapenos beforehand.
- No fresh jalapeno? Use jarred! (I almost always do!)
- Switch things up: Use fire roasted tomatoes or add a teaspoon of cumin for a slightly smoky flavor.
