Notes
Spicier Salsa: To make this salsa more spicy add more pickled jalapeños, use two fresh jalapeños instead of pickled, or add 1/8th teaspoon cayenne powder.
Half Batch My younger sister often makes this recipe as a half batch so there isn’t too much left over. Simply cut the recipe in half for everything except the jalapeño slices.
Spicier half batch– use 1/2 cup of jalapeño slices.
Mild half batch– use 1/3 cup of jalapeño slices.
