Pappasito’s Salsa
Pappasito’s Salsa is crafted by charring poblano and jalapeno peppers along with tomatoes to develop smoky, deep flavors. Combined with diced onion, herbs, and seasonings, it’s processed to a chunky consistency and simmered briefly to meld flavors into a hot salsa with fresh herb and mild heat notes.
