Spicy Salsa
Spicy Salsa ingredients in the food processor.
Chips and salsa make a great snack, and I am guilty of buying jarred salsa from the store in the past. When I purchased my food processor the first thing I told myself I was going to make was a homemade spicy salsa. This is the 3rd time I’ve made this recipe and we think it is amazing. It uses so many fresh ingredients that it has a COMPLETELY different taste than any store-bought salsa. The two types of hot peppers add the perfect amount of heat. However, if you like your salsa mild, skip the habaneros and just use jalapenos.
The instructions say to let your salsa chill for at least an hour, I let mine sit overnight (not just because I forgot chips at the store) but it allows the flavors to blend. Plus, chilled salsa is better than luke-warm in my opinion.
After making homemade salsa I don’t think I could bring myself to buy jarred again. This is a simple recipe that any salsa lover would…well, love.
Serve with your favorite tortilla chip.
