Note

Serve this sauce as a fresh topping for tacos, nachos, or burritos. It also works well as a side salad for grilled chicken or fish.

For a creamier variation, fold in 1/2 cup of extra-light sour cream just before serving.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. The vegetables may release some liquid over time; drain if necessary before serving.

You can adjust the heat level by varying the amount of chilli sauce or adding fresh jalape&# 195;±os.
