Introduction

This is a tasty, tangy, spicy cooked salsa (not the fresh pico de gallo). The flavors meld beautifully. Great for eating with nachos, tortillas, etc. and also for seasoning meat for cooking, on eggs and right out of the bowl as a side dish..

    Very Good
    First time making a salsa from scratch. I cooked only the tomatoes and didn't use any paste. I added about 5 slices pickled jalapenos and 1 cup cilantro. Tasted a little limey alone but actually liked it much better with tortilla chips. Can't wait to try it on my hummus, rice and bean burrito. - 3/12/13
