Scott’s Simple Salsa

Delicious, fresh made salsa from cans

This Salsa recipe took a lot of research and development to create. I gathered all the highest rated salsa recipes found online and combined the best of each into this recipe.

This is not a copy of El Burro salsa. It isn’t meant to be. It’s meant to be a delicious salsa, far better than grocery store salsa. It’s simple, fast, delicious, cheap, and easy.

Check with your local Taquera or market. If they have a kitchen they probably have a fresh salsa you like for sale by the pint. They often have fresh daily made corn tortilla chips too.
