RECIPE BACKSTORY
A very basic recipe but very good, especially as a starter. I found this in one of those Betty Crocker mini magazines published back in 1999. I also use this in my guacamole. I'll take a couple of tablespoons and add it to smashed avocados. Remember, if you like it hotter, use more jalapenos and leave in the seeds.
I will sometimes use a couple of tablespoons of this salsa with 2 smashed avocados to make my guacamole
