    This is really easy, even if you don't 'nail it perfectly' it's still excellent.
    Quick, easy, tasty, everything you want in a 20-30 minute dish. Definitely use low sodium broth or use 1 tbs of bullion powder for both cups of water. Most salsas have salt and it will never be lacking. - 4/2/14
