Notes
- Spice level: As written, the recipe yields a "medium" spice salsa. Use cans of mild rotel, or hot rotel, to make it more or less spicy. You could also add some fresh or canned jalapeño to make spicy salsa.

- To Can Salsa: Read through the guidelines provided by the National Center for Home Food Preservation (they have several recipes for canned salsa, as well).
