About 2 cups

Preparation

  1. Taste a bit of a jalapeño to check heat level. If it seems too mild, use 3 peppers.
  2. Combine all ingredients plus 2 tablespoons water in a blender. Pulse a few times before blending into a purée. Add a bit more water if needed: the salsa should be pourable. Serve.
  • Salsa can be stored in a tightly covered container in refrigerator for up to a week.
