Directions

A splash of tequila makes all the difference in this robust salsa, it has a way of mellowing the searing nature of terrifically hot foods. Good on seafood, chicken & any kind of chops. Combine all ingredients and let stand at least 30 minutes at room temperature. Taste & adjust seasonings. Makes about 1-½ cups.
