This simple salsa made with fresh ingredients is a true Mexican classic. It’s the ideal accompaniment to tortilla chips, and it adds authentic flavor to nearly any Mexican dish. Use it to top our Beefy Tacos (page 84), to season our Breakfast Burrito (page 26), and to liven up our Nacho Cheese Sauce (page 137).
