Notes
- If you like your salsa spicier add an extra jalapeno or two to give it some more heat.
- You can also add a few tablespoons of water to help thin out the salsa if it's too thick for your liking.
- If you want milder salsa, use fewer jalapenos or omit them entirely.
- Feel free to get creative and add in other ingredients such as corn, black beans, or avocado!
