Note

For a smoother texture, you can pulse the ingredients in a food processor, but be careful not to over-process into a puree.

The salsa tastes best after letting it sit for 15-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

The original recipe included ingredients for Chile-Cheese Quesadillas (Monterey Jack, Cheddar, cilantro, garlic). These are not part of the salsa preparation.
