Notes

  • For extra smoky flavor, roast the tomatoes and jalapeños before blending.
  • If you prefer a mild salsa, remove the seeds from the jalapeños before adding.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • This salsa pairs wonderfully with breakfast burritos and grilled seafood.
