Thanks Sharon! I’m so glad you like them.
I thought it was delicious. I didn’t chance it or add anything. I used 3 Tablespoons of lime juice from a bottle cause I didn’t have limes. I DID over blend…but was still tasty. Made me wonder why im always buying it instead of making it fresh.
Glad you liked it Deb!
No Jalpinos?
No my family liked it mild, you can do jalapeños instead of green chilies for more spice.
Thank you for the salsa recipe… I’ve looking for a simple way of making salsa without a lot of preparation and ingredients…Which looks good to eat…can’t wait to try it!
Thanks Rita! I hope you enjoy it!
really good…
Please try whole tomatoes instead – chop a bit in the can before adding, much less additives and better taste, once you try it you’ll never go back.
Otherwise super-smart – easy and wonderful!
Do you use fresh green chilis or canned?
I used canned
would it be better to use fresh chilies and roast your own?
You can use fresh chilies!
