Notes
TIFFY’S TIPS
Want more spice? Increase the jalapeno peppers.
Adjust the ingredients to your palate. If you want more garlic or onion, be creative!
If you don’t have a griddle you can roast the vegetables on a baking sheet in a 400 oven until charred. You can all use an outdoor grill or grill pan.
Though traditionally made in a molcajete, you can also use a food processor to blend the ingredients. If using a food processor make sure you pulse at intervals to get the right consistency and not over process.
Enjoy these salsas with your favorite tortilla chips or serve on tacos, a breakfast scramble, etc.
