Who doesn’t love Chips and Salsa? The next time you crave it or need a good salsa to go with your meal, try making your own version. Salsa is so easy to make and it tastes so much fresher than what you’ll get out of the jar. The best thing is that you can totally make it your own.
All you need are some ripe tomatoes, red onion, garlic, cilantro and a few spices I’m sure you have in your cabinet. Once made, it will keep in your fridge at least a week but I doubt there will be any left.
Check out the recipe below and make your version. This is a mild version. If you want to make it hotter, you could skip de-seeding the jalapeno. Hotter? Add some Serrano pepper and maybe a little extra cayenne pepper. Still not hot enough? Add some Habanero pepper.
