FOOTNOTES

  • I like the Bull’s Eye brand Original
  • The canned Ortega brand is good. These are chilies, not jalapeños. The jalapeños are considerably
  • Not hot sauce, but similar and milder. Pico Pica brand is Tabasco works too; use 1/4 as much.
  • Even better if refrigerated for a few
  • If salsa is too chunky, food process part of it, and/or add back-in reserved tomato
