What it is

It is ready to eat straight from the container.
How people cook with it
This salsa is perfect for adding a kick to your favorite Mexican-inspired dishes or as a standalone dip.
- Dip for tortilla chips
- Topping for tacos
- Flavoring for chili
- Spread for sandwiches
Open the container and serve chilled or at room temperature. It can be used as a dip for tortilla chips, a topping for tacos, burritos, enchiladas, or quesadillas. Stir it into guacamole for an extra layer of flavor. It also works well as a base for sauces or as a flavorful addition to chili or stews. For a different experience, try warming it slightly before serving.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to a mild salsa, this roja version has a distinct spicy element from the jalapeños. Unlike a verde salsa, which typically uses tomatillos, this salsa relies on the sweetness and acidity of red tomatoes as its base. The chunky texture also sets it apart from smoother, pureed salsas.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking to enhance their meals with a zesty and spicy condiment will enjoy this salsa.
How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused salsa to an airtight container and refrigerate. It should be consumed within a week to maintain its freshness and flavor. Keep the original container if it has a resealable lid.
