Simple Spicy Salsa
I was making carne asada tacos, spicy pinto beans, Mexican rice, and tortilla chips for dinner for one of my best friends who was coming to town for just one night. I usually make the roasted tomato salsa, but since it was in the 90s today, I didn’t want to heat the house with the oven. I grabbed a few things and threw this salsa together– I am so glad I did! It was tangy, spicy, and full of flavor! We all liked this simple spicy salsa recipe, including my daughter, who didn’t care that it was so spicy because she loved the flavor so much. My son, on the other hand, said it was too spicy for him.

I can go for salsa every single day, so I need to make this!
Hi Pam,
Delicious, spicy and so appetising!!

Sounds delicious!
Mmh, this salsa looks so tasty and is easy to prepare.
Fantastic recipe when you don’t have to much time but still want to prepare a spicy treat.
I too love salsa almost everyday, the nice fresh taste of cilantro and really good tomatoes.
Mmmm. Hubby, thankfully, eats this too. It’s rare to get him to eat veggies.
We love homemade salsa. Great, simple recipe!
This salsa is definitely a winner!
Kisses!
Homemade salsa is so good. Spicier the better.
My family loves homemade salsa…the hotter the better! Yum!
It’s hard to beat grabbing a few things, throwing them together and getting a delicious result.
I love a nice spicy salsa. This one looks yummy.
Such a great shortcut since you didn’t feel like roasting!
I can eat this every day! Thanks for sharing, Pam.
