Back to TopThis is an excellent quick salsa that never fails to receive compliments and requests for the recipe. I've made it several times, and it is always a hit. I haven't tried any variations; it works well just the way it is.

Just like the taco truck, though I used Serrano instead of jalapeño for extra kick I also used a hand full and not just one. Thanks for the recipe
