Notes
Tip: For an added crunch, consider baking your own tortilla chips by cutting corn tortillas into triangles, brushing them with olive oil, and baking until crispy.
For an extra kick, feel free to add more jalapeño or even a dash of hot sauce. If you’re looking for a milder version, you can omit the jalapeño altogether.
This salsa can be made ahead of time; just store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The flavors will meld beautifully, making it even more delicious!
