Notes
- This salsa is a medium or hot spice level. If you prefer a mild spice level, remove and discard the seeds and veins of the jalapeños.
- Seasoning is crucial in this salsa. The ingredients are fresh and relatively basic; be sure to taste as you go, and ensure you have the proper salt level, as it makes a big difference.
