Notes
- Spice level: If you opt to omit the chiles de arbol and remove the seeds and membranes from your jalapeño, your salsa will be rather mild. On the other hand, if you leave the seeds and membranes in tact and also add the extra chiles, it will be a bit fierier.
- Store leftover salsa in an airtight container like a sealed mason jar in the fridge for up to a week.
